Swing-arm rubber is still in place and judging by the layer of road dust, hasn't come in contact with the chain. I think it is still the original chain (bike had only 3000miles on it when I bought it) and appears to have equal wear.
I will try winding the pre-load right up....Progressive only list up to 12.5" so I doubt I would get an exchange and maybe change the chain and sprocket(s) just in case.
As for being able to keep my mouth shut...I'm on wife number 3 so maybe it's too late to learn that lesson !
