Ted,

I have used the timing chain with master link on a couple of different
Guzzis. I like 'em. They are a bit fiddly to install, but it has to be
easier than pulling all the sprockets.

I am a huge MG Cycle fan, but they only carry the OE chain. I buy the
split chains from Moto International.

Hi Guys still working on this Eldo 850 and just discovered that it has a
timing chain. 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! 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?

Thanks Ted
