I am using the sleeve bearing (not sure on part number) so you could be correct and i am exceeding the max speed. however i still get a lot of noise at low speed
I will add the config timer tonight when i get home and try reducing it to x1 to see if that helps. I am currently running it with no load already. i will also post a plot of the encoder values and noise and more information about which encoder i have
edit:
Gear box: VexPro 3 cim ball shifter with 2.16 ratio and we are mounting the encoder to the gear box with an idler sprocket
encoder: us digital s4 with 256 cpr

Are you driving the encoder using the press on plastic gears on the backside of the gearbox (near the shifting cylinder)? The larger of these gears is known to sometimes have a sloppy press fit, you could superglue it in place if this is the case to ensure no slip between the ball shifter output shaft and this gear that drives the encoder gear.
