New timing chain
Hello i replaced the timing chain on rmz450 from 2008 i bought this year.
The problem is the spacing of the timing chain seems a bit off, for example when i lay the chain on the camshaft sprocket i can clearly see light shining through the theeth and the chain (please see pictures) but the old chain seems to get much deeper inside the sprocket teeth.
The old chain is clearly a bit worn and also has stiff links to it, thats the reason i wanter to replace it but now im not sure im the newer chain will stay in place, by the way the sprocket dont seem to bad in my opinion and also the chains seem to be the same optically
Anyone ever had similar problems here?
