bump, bump. surfing around, wearing out the search bar, trying to solve some little problems between rides. this is exactly my issue with the same machine. how'd you make out? did you file the slide down? i filed mine down a little and took out some of the edges of the dimple, seemed to help alot. problem still exists, but not as bad. I was afraid to go to far with the file. does it matter, as long as i keep the angle/pitch in the slide? it will not be as smooth as factory with a hand file, i would think. proceeding with caution till i get some advice.
