The good news is that SSR has gotten better about parts for this bike I would ask an SSR dealership. The swing arm on the on the 200 and 250 would be the same.
I bought this thing used back in 2013 and did a bunch of mods back then. It pretty much sat for the past 7 years so I forgot alot of the details. I was pretty good about checking and adjusting slack on all my bikes. Every once in a while I'll reach down when stopped and give the chain a wag. However I'm used to street bikes and less dirt style bikes . IMO it seems like the bolt head is pretty tall so it didn't have to get down very far to start eating into the head.
