Thanx everybody!!

Sprocket alignment in same geometric plane.



Tire alignment in same direction.



Good Fortune!

or offset the swingarm.

Center the swingarm in the frame then center the tire in the swingarm.

use string/straightedge/laser to make sure it is centered up with the front tire.
a little offset won't be noticable,some factory bikes come offset 3/4's of an inch or more.

Putting a 97 GSXR 750 front and rear on my 750. How do I know that my rear tire is centered side to side? Do I just center the swingarm inside my frame (actually fits pretty snug) and assume the tire will be centered? Or is there more to it that than?

It is a very common swap. You'll likely need some washers to use as spacers between the swing arm and frame and you will need to use Suzuki-style shocks or to redo the swing arm shock mounts for the Kawi-style shocks. You may need some spacers out back, too depending on how the sprockets line up.
I'll bet there is a thread or two about this somewhere on this site. Maybe even an article inthe file base.

Nobody? Guess I'll give it a shot

I would guess if its running right? Then its a tire or wheel bearing?
Shops would probably re balance tires cheap and that would let you check those bearings.
