Skansenwagon hello from New Zealand, doing my own maintenance i would advice to pay attention to the rear brake.
Take a few pictures from the side and notice the position of the brake caliper housing, it can be a bit of a puzzle to get the position correct, the housing slides over a square rail in the rear swingarm, this stops it from rotating when the brake is applied and also the brake shoes are a little peculiar to get in position and aligned on the disk.
i tend to spread the shoes out wide in order to make it easier to put back on the disk and do test the brake carefully after re-assembly.
Some have been known to have assembled this wrong, be aware.

The brake shoes do operate if the tabs on the shoes are not in the locked-in position but it will sound bad so be aware of this.
Also if the front sprocket has a rubber damper side replace it with like, otherwise there may be a constant "whine" as you ride the bike.
Your english is perfect, welcome to the club.
