Does anyone know the part no's for Tsubaki chain[australia]as they have a chain in stock but are unsure or just go yamahaShould I get the tensioner blades changed at same time.Have 30 klm with a noisy engine,Ritza had a ride one mine and it is much noisier than his and less punchy on acceleration.Bike has log books and had "gaps" done 18 months ago

Search is your friend here craybait :wink:
Here is the chain part number: 82RH2015-138L
That means it`s a HyVo type, 138 links.
If you go to the downloads section on the main menu you can get into the manuals sections.
By the way, inspect those tensioner blades first, they may be fine, they usually are. You could perhaps check the spring on the tensioner though, to see if it`s taken a `set` but again not all that likely.

Tsubaki have the 82rh2015 listed for a trx,but do not have that chain,they have a BF05 in stock and are unable to cross reference[bring the chain in!]which is not very user friendly.Has anone used a tsubaki chain,and what number was it.I suspect I will grab an original yamaha

just questioning cray....30,000km doesn't seem like many k's up to be replacing a camchain???
done mine at 100,000k's and there was still a few clicks left on the adjuster and yes the blades where fine.
But I would imagine a little stretch would alter the cam timing a touch.....
At 76,000k's with just staintune cans I was still at 76HP on the dyno

Why not go for a DID, just as good. :wink:
