so i have heard on the kfxs people stripping the chain adjusters out. i bought mine used and noticed no chain adjuster so i but the nut and screw. i went to put it on and noticed that the top left bolt(looking from the back)had washers stacked on top of each other.?? i was confused and didnt change it over yet. think its stripped? if it is what do i do then? i have the chain adjuster already from kawasaki. any help is appreciated.

that screw you have posted is what i just bought and is what was missing. but the washers are stacked up on the top left nut on the casing above axle. So what im wondering is if this was just ghetto rigged to make do or what. cuz i have the chain adjuster screw. its just ive never tinkered with adjusting the chain ir axle.
