#2 - 17K miles and poor chain maintenance could mean a stretched chain or worn sprocket. Put it up on a rear stand and inspect the sprocket. You can also spin the wheel by hand and see if the chain rides up on the sprocket at any point.

The 600 also has a slipper clutch I believe. I don't have a rear stand.

I did inspect the sprocket to see if any of the teeth were "shark finned" but they seem to look good.
The chain however does seem to be sagging a little bit.

If the chain is stretched, is tightening possible or at 17k maybe a new one would be the best solution

It does not slip at all when accelerating
