Ser# 59995. Have it apart and rubber is off the manual adjuster. Dam now I have to pull the rocker arms off and have a look!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So when do you replace the chain, is there a measurement? And what about the Sprockets, do they wear out? The chain has hit the case a bit, no real damage. Guzziology talks about a Tsubaki master link chain. They any good? Checked MG Cycle web page they have a tensioner listed and solid timing chains only. Has anyone used the master link chain with good results?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
