When to change cam chain??

[sirch345]

Hi,

I just changed to Kriegers and followed the detailed description that follows in the package from Rob (Exhautist). But in addition I removed the chain guard so I could measure the slack properly. The description says "fingerthight, turn engine one turn anti clock wise keep finger tightening while turning, and then back out 1/8 turn, but I choose 1/6 out, since 1/6 turn is much easier to be precise on and the slack will be 6-7mm. Here is how my slack was after 1/6 out on the rear (I did not open the front cover): https://photos.app.goo.gl/TcqSKr6CpkjKSsx89
With this my bike runs without rattle and no whining.

Only thing I did wrong was that I re-connected the vacum hose to the wrong tap on the petcock (use the one on the back of the petcock, not the one turning down like I did). I was not a good feeling to start up the bike after changing to MCCTs and not be able to rev the bike

Be careful when tightening the bolts to the cam cover and the bolts to the top cover.

BTW: Just did the TPS mod and adjusted it from 824 to 603 Ohms, and now it is like a new bike Perhaps I will remove the TPS again and file the brass spacers a bit more and hopefully get it down to 500 Ohms.

Well done

Nice video too
