Oh, and i took the wheel off again today and checked for play again and closely inspected all bearings (3 of em) and again checked the sproket with a digital caliper and spun the wheel and all that good stuff. Also took the chain off the front sprocket and spun the sprocket listening and feeling for anything unusual in the bearing and all seems good. i cant see the new rear sprocket making any difference as good as the current one is, so i'm really at a loss.

At this point i'm looking at the engine, but it runs great and i balanced it again. Also plugged off the EVLZ and found the hose underneath thats supposed to have a condom on it but didn't. Plugged that and the EVLS and went for a ride. Still nothing. What next? Can't think of anything. Valves maybe? It IS noisy as hell, but then it has been for a long time if not always.
