if your going to assen then first off get a proper rivet link put on the chain.

my chain has the same amount of slack from tight spot so dont worry about that.

as for the slight wobble this can happen if the sprocket carrier is not fully home in the drive cushions, again dont worry too much as long as the rear axle is torqued/tightened up properly. once the rear axle nut is tightened up properly then nip the adjuster nuts up as well.

have you physically checked your wheel bearings? once the axle is tightened up and while on a paddock stand and holding the rear wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock pull/push from side to side then move wheel 1/4 turn and do the same. if there is any play (click click) then your wheel bearings are shot. do the same for the sprocket carrier.

have you checked to make sure that the inner sprocket carrier spacer is there, it goes between the wheel bearing and the carrier bearing on the inside and not the spacer on the outside?
