Time to change chain tensioners - change rings too?
« on: June 16, 2017, 11:47:38 AM »
I have  a 1971 750 with about 13,000 miles on it. I think it may be time to change the primary and cam chain tensioners. The motor is running strong and not pushing blue. While I have it apart should I put in new rings as well? I have a line on a set of standard size rings for cheap. I think a light clean up of the bores, lap in the valves and button it up would be the drill here.
Thanks,
Cliff.

The primary tension has been DC'd by Honda.
