Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Thought I'd read somewhere that X ring chains sap a fraction less power??, less friction hence less heat, less likely to chuck the lube off??

I've been thinking that chains stretching are a bit of a chicken and egg job, frequenty "tensioning" 'em leads to a need to 'er tension 'em more often

Me 998 chain lasted well over 12K miles and in reality it only had to go when the front sprocket showed signs of wear so it was a new chain and sprockets job, maybe the front sprocket was wearing cos I run the chain slacker than some might, I dunno.

Exclamation Chain Adjustment

Yoy will find on the 750 Sport the chain adjustment figure on the swinging arm is incorrect, if you adjust the chain to the given figure it will be as tight as a fiddle string when the suspension is compressed, best way is to set it to a figure of about 50mm slack then compress the suspension untill the arm axle shaft and centre of the engine sprocket are in alignment and check it adjusting acordingly. hope that is of some help.
