Bob, Thanks for stepping up on this, I knew I couldn't be the only one. I did find some information about a chip, but cannot get a response from the sales dept. I did get one respose from the MFG telling me the US Distributor would contact me, but then I heard nothing. I have been pretty busy so

I have gone to smaller chain and both sprockets this year and it seems to be okay. I felt the only real advantage was it was cheaper to buy the newer type sprokets, and if I had a problem in remote areas the newer narrow sprockets are easier to find. The downside is the new front sprocket is "soli
