    I haven't ridden any other Gen 6 bike to compare so I don't if what I am finding with mine is normal or if something is not quite right.
    She run smooth and sweet throughout the revs but if I'm just cruising at 100-110 km/hr at about 4500 revs or less she feels a little laboured - not as smooth as she should. So I tend to drop down a gear unless I doing 120+. Is this normal?
    The bike is new to me but has had the Cam chains and tensioners replaced in the last 10,000km.

    Hard to say depends on your expectations, 6th at 110 is fine as an overdrive for the HWY and if standard had found on my previous 6th gen would lean out on long distance cruise then have an initial flat spot when trying to accelerate to pass. A Pc3 is supposed to dial that out.
