Maybe go up a couple teeth though on the pinion though with the 7.5. should be good for the 6.5

Did you check the slipper clutch?
Yeah, the slipper was actually too tight for my taste. The factory sends out the pre-built slipper center with several shims behind the slipper nut so you can't loosen it a whole lot. I removed some of them yesterday so I can obtain the setting I like.

The 7.5 was an older (2-3 years old) motor and I'm having some cogging issues at very slow speeds with it, too. Hopefully it's just worn out and the new SP 6.5 will bring things to life and stop that issue as well.
