Measuring Primary chain stretch
« on: December 26, 2012, 06:55:06 PM »
Per the 750 shop manual procedure, a maximum chain stretch figure of 70mm is measured from the case to the tensioner arm.
Mine is at 67.65 currently.

Anyone ever measure that on a new chain???


Thanks!

Good info.

So we can safely say 65-70mm (as measured per the manual) is the full life of the Primary chain. I think the 2nd half is going to go a little faster :)

Thanks again!
