Topic: Cam chain..Roller vs Hy-Vo

[754]

See a few people changing over on a 750
 So a few Qs,
 What are the modern 4s using, ie 'Busa, ZX10, ZX14, Hondas, Gixxers?

 Also is not the driving of dual  cams a bit harder task for the drive chain, than on a sohc?

Seven - can't answer your question, sorry. But have one of my own. My wife and I just went up on the goldwing to Lake Louise, Jasper etc. How on earth do you Canadians get through the day with the prices you have to pay? Everything we bought was about 50% more than we pay in Washington. We went broke reeeeeeal quick and cut the trip short. Just wondering.....eh?

Its probably a bit higher in those areas as compared to rural BC/Alta..

 Our average wage used to be higher than yours.

 We sure ate well/cheap on our Bonneville trip..

 Beer/spirits, is def cheaper in the USA.

I agree with 754.  Even when we lived in Vancouver, it was cheaper than Lake Louise.  Rural BC and AB would certainly differ.  That's tourist territory all the way!  The only two times we went through there we noticed (felt!) the difference in price.  Now, a lighter wallet means less overall load which means better mpg.  No?

nowadays it's mostly back to hy-vo but mid 90's GSXR's and others where roller. I use a GSXR 750  chain on my 500 sohc racer, and my 750 and 1100 gixxers have 50-60K miles on their original roller chains without problems. mind you, these are flat link chains that are stronger and make life easier on the tensioner blade.
