Some of you may remember the cast of my rear wheel having a run out issue.

The lower run of my chain when relaxed and spinning the wheel has high and low spots about 1/8 to 1/4". Not sure if its a sprocket issue or wheel that's causing this, i have spun a few new CB on the showroom floor and they run true.
When the bike has a small amount of pressure on the driven flange the chain is not true ( cruising speed), once throttle is increased it wouldn't matter with the damper rubber picking up the slack.
I tighten the chain today to about 1/2", it still out but almost true, a bit to tight for me so I backed it off to about 5/8 a more comfortable level.
The Buzz was down to what I would call a good level. I stopped several times with no affect or increase in vibration. I'm wondering when the chain gets hot if there's more action causing more vibration in the final drive.
In any case I'm going to order a new sprocket to see if I can get a true line on the chain.
