I think that the spacing is OK. The chain is just draped on the axel near the swingarm back there.

Frankie...I think it is just out of adjustment. There is a vertical line on the angled plate that you should be able to set on the same position on each side (hash marks on the swingarm on both sides). Get them on the same position, with about 1.5-2.0 cm chain movement.

I do notice that you have inverted front forks. That is an upgrade compared to the Hawk. This might be a Bashan made bike. But that engine designation is off. Are you sure it isn't a 169FMN? 170 engines are twin cylinders (the ones I can find).
