In reference to the Kawasaki chain drive problems I had on my CSR 750...
First, thanks to all who called, wrote, mail(1)ed etc....
The problem turned out to be a combination of two things:
    (1), the alignment marks stamped into the arms were *not* true with
each other (off by about 1/32 in or so) (and this was true of 3 bikes
examined) and,
    (2), Unless a tightening procedure for the rear axle bolt is followed
as specified in the service (but *not* owners) manual, the bolt side can
force the entire wheel slightly to the left (as facing front), thereby
causing the rear sprocket to lie out of plane with the front...
 
After following the proper procedure, everything worked fine, and i am
enjoying riding without having to worry about where exactly on the power
curve I find myself! (aside from normal concerns)
 Thanks again to all who responded...gee whiz, ain't news great!
