While I'm making a few (ahem) other mods I wondered how often the timing chain and tensioner should be renewed.
The bike has a genuine 42,000 miles or 72,000 kilometers for our colonial cousins. Going to re-shim a couple of valves and balance the carbs, sorry injectors, and thought it might be worth doing. Thats what you get when you are raised on Hondas.
Anyone any ideas on the longevity of K timing chains?
