Correct cam chain length please

#1 PostAuthor: Zomerset Zed » Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:18 pm

Hi All,
Does anyone know the correct cam chain length for a '78 Z1000 A1 with 15/30T sprockets?

Counted the one which was in the (miss-timed) engine i bought at 61 plates/122 pins but can't trust this as engine built by a moron!

Have looked in manuals and searched threads to no avail. Does anyone know?

Cheers,

Mike
