I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Aren't they all?  :love10

A bit special.

It's not only true of the bikes round here either...
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

What's your views on re-using the camchain?. If the timing arrows don't align,it's time to change?

Theres also the measuring between 20(?)  link pins trick, but I don't know the numbers, if its done a decent mileage... and If you're in there anyway? :icon_wink:

Don't know the history of the engine? Just over 60k,valves look in good shape. Ive got to change 5 inlets shims,but only to 2.65. All chain guides look very good. Cam sprocket arrows were out slightly,but tensioner seemed all the way out..hardly any tension when I removed?Seen on eBay..Japanese Morse chain for about £47. So I'm tempted to try it?

Go for it, I did it at 80k but that was pushing it when I saw it.

Drop Clive Woods an Email, he'll be able to advise, although like you say,I'd probably do it anyway,  eighty-odd quid is small beer in the greater scheme of things....

Fitted new chain Bob..Morse brand. And changed 4 inlet shims. All chain blades were in good order. And a new tensioner spring.
