I'm just wondering if not having the IP's rack position sensor hooked up will harm anything. it sounds like it won't.
good, because it's a low mileage, zero stretch on the chain, motor that runs excellent, and I really didn't wanna mess with it at all.

please if anyone has any contrary advice, I'm all ears.
thanks!
Well, keep us apprised of how well that works out.
