Topic: Heavy duty cam chain

[75750SS]

Does anyone sell a heavy duty cam chain that uses a master link?   So far I've only seen the endless link type.

 B&C Express in England sells the Tsubaki HD chain (Camella here in the states) with a master link. I forget the brand name it sells under, but it is the same chain in a blue/black box. These are only sold as endless in the US.

I think I have one: I would rather trade it to someone for an endless one, though. I'll go look and see if it's the HD type. It is brand-new, in the box.

Could you also see if you have one for a 400F?

There is no such thing as a heavy duty cam chain with a master link. You have to choose between heavy duty or masterlink.

 If "heavy duty" is defined as "endless" then I can see that as being a true statement, Jay. However, I do have a Tsubaki, straight plate chain with press fit link in my engine which is identical to the Camellia chain sold in the states except for the master link. It is sold as a heavy duty chain.


   Excellent price on the Camellia, BTW.

Heavy duty relates to the strength and hence the stress of the work you can put the chain through - no reason why that can't mean you have a master link or an endless chain. After all - someone's got to rivet the endless chain up in the first place or do they just grow them like that ?

B&C Express in the UK will supply any grade of chain for any bike in endless or rivet link form.....including hy-vo chains which one emminent classic bike mag in the UK said didn't exist!

They're good people - give them a shout.

I'm with the lord on this one. For the 400F the only H/D chain supplied down here in darkest Africa is 120 links long and comes with a master link and a rivet link. Then I shorten it to the correct length and use the rivet link. I never use the split link. Oh these are DID full side plate chains instead of the stock figure 8 type chain.
The full side plate is basically what yoshimura sold as there H/D racing chains.

Very nice motor by the way.

Well, the one I have is not heavy duty, just a riveted master-link type. It's a Daido 219T Camchain, 219Tx94 links.

I'd like to trade it to someone for an endless chain for the 750. I don't have the riveting tool to assemble the master link.

....a 219T is used on many of the Honda models so you may be able to expand your possible swap pool for more success 

I have a 219T on the CB450 Black Bomber and used the same on the CB350 K4 Racer I originally built....just can't remember how many links LOL!

Yeah. I've forgotten how many, too!

219Tx94 is also used in the 350 twin.
