Dommy 99 not pulling as it should do.

As you have recently been working on this bike replacing pistons etc. Can I ask, did you adjust the primary chain by any chance? I had a 650ss and on one occasion I had made adjustment to the primary chain plus other stuff, and went out to check everything was ok! There is quite a long steep hill close to where I lived at the time and the bike struggled to get up it. it turned out that I had the primary chain too tight.

The last 3 bikes I worked on for other owners all had very tight chains ,one had horrendous vibration through the footrests that competely dissapeared after adjustment ,one had a very musical tight front wheel caused by missing spacers.
