I am just in the process of working out if i do or don't need to replace the timing chain, the symptoms are a rattle from the engine... But the bike is being rebuilt at the moment.
I am aware that a good indicator is the guides show signs of wear, and further down the line the case cover can also show signs of a rubbing chain...
My guides look good at the moment, and the lower and right hand sides look to have good tension in them, however when looking at the upper section of chain there is an amount of looseness. The two photo's show first off the chain as it is, the second when i have taken the slack out using my fingers on the small cog on the left.
Some guidance would be very welcome
