Flat Spots Are Gone
I did this yesterday and the flat spots completely vanished. I used the move the washer method described above. It worked great. I removed the clip and moved the washer to the other side and reinstalled the clip. At some point I'm going to get a washer and put the stock washer back where it is supposed to be.
To do this I had to remove the gas tank, both side panels, air box bolts, and the carburetor. I tried getting the diaphragm out with out removing the carburetor but found this difficult. In my garage dropped parts vanish. I suggest removing the carburetor and doing the disassembly in the bottom of a clean white 5 gallon bucket so when the spring pops out it will be in the bucket. Working inside a clear plastic bag also works well.
I think my wifes bike has already had this done when we got it because it has no flat spots. It's still smoother and quieter than mine.
