cb750 oval link cam chain w/ stock tensioners?
« on: January 26, 2015, 10:31:26 PM »
Hello. I have a quick question about cam chains. I want to run an oval link BF05M x 94L. I just wanted to confirm that these will work ok with the stock tensioner, guide wheel and guide? Im 98% sure it will but just wanted to make sure before i order parts.

If anything it is better than the OEM peanut type chain

Oval chains are designed to be used with straight style guides only, On models like the CB750 and the KZ Kawasakis that the chain goes around a round sprockets, should use peanut style

I have a heavy duty TSUBAKI BF05M-94 (Camellia)  with OEM tensioner. Std chain is not good enough with hotter cam and harder springs, right?
Any problem with that? I did not get any problem with that, except hardening rubber wheel and small pieces of it in oil pan
- Better alternative is this?

OEM primary chain tensioner with Heavy Duty primary chains from  ClassicCycleCity too.
