The chain showed no special signs of wear. But... When I changed the chain, then I measured the old one against the new one, and the new one has less freeplay. To arrange the compression, and to stop the oil leaking from the rings, it was not necessary to change the timing chain, etc. But I replaced it because the parts were not expensive, and that in relation to the price of the parts, the main trouble is the work, after all, everything was already disassembled. And the result is nice: The engine runs smoother than before. Like a new engine.
And this too: The parts was cheap, and I didn't know what I was going to find, and the shipping time was long, so I ordered in advance, just in case it was necessary. And when there are a new parts, then they are goes in even when there is no clear need to replace the used parts. Now in retrospect I can say with certainty that it would have been possible to stay with the original used chain, and only after I can say that it was still worth replacing because the fact is that the engine is quieter.
@@mycbr250rdmotorcycling7 Hello, can you determine if the engine now running smoother is because of timing chain replacement or the clutch plates ? Or is it something that you cant credit one part of the two.
@@RRP1992 I attribute the reduction in noise, and the smoothness in which the engine works only to the parts that were replaced in the Engine Head. Each part contributed its part in reducing the noise, it is about closing gaps the size of microns. The used parts were still within spec. The main job of the repair concerned the problem with the cylinder, the piston and the rings, and also the polishing of the valve seats.
Tamir, the level of close focus and clarity your videos share is simply unmatched. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Was the chain due a replacement?

Great stuff as always ! How many miles or km on the bike now ?
72,000km
