The bike has a new OEM endless chain installed by the dealer and a 17 tooth sprocket as well. The rough spot seems to have gone away.
I like the bike with the extended legs the 17 tooth gives it. I have put about 150 miles on it since its addition including an afternoon trip two up to Mt Lemmon @ around 10K altitude up at Summerhaven. Two lane twisty all the way up from the valley floor some 25 miles roughly. Stayed in 4th for most of the climb up and in third for some of the tigher areas. Toque was OK as long as the revs were kept in the sweet zone.
We had lunch at the Mt. Lemmon cafe and when leaving we had to pull out on a fair little incline....I did notice the longer legs as far as pull from a dead stop first gear on the hill.
I like her best riding one up though in the hills.
