Thanks yeah i have made and fitted a chain tensioner which seems to help going back to the standard rear sprocket seems to be better for my needs plus having only had the bike for a month or so i am starting to adjust to how it rides which after coming from a tuned short stroke v four has been a challenge ! but i love the shovel and have no intention of changing it ! the v max has to go ! all the best
