Hi @DezzaNo it wasnt changed, measured length to ensure it was in spec. I assume if I end up looking at the big ends and splitting the case then that would be the perfect opportunity to put a new chain in. Edited March 1, 2021 by kiwisuzuki1100nz Quote Link to comment
Nik Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 @kiwisuzuki1100nz; how did the trouble-shooting go? Did you find what was wrong with your engine? Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hasn't been around for well over a year so you may never get a response! Reading through the whole thread I would have said piston slap - I had a 1186 kit that slapped more than I liked after just 6000 miles so its not an impossible diagnosis! Quote Link to comment

That was my guess too, and I was curious how it unfolded. Quote Link to comment
