TOPIC:

My cam chain is so stretched that my valve/ignition/cylendar timing relation is starting to move apart. Obviously I need a new cam chain, but I can't find anybody who actually has one. A couple of places list them on their sites, but nobody really seems to carry them.

Where can I find the Specifications of this chain so I can maybe just buy some modern chain that might be strong enough to use a master link?

Does anybody actually KNOW where any NOS might be or a KZ person who's run into this before?

Thanks for any help

Bike Bandit and Z1 enterprises both list the part but do not actually carry it. No luck on ebay. Thanks Wolfman! Not only does CRC really sell the chain, but Rob, the guy I talked to, seems to know a lot about these bikes. Thanks!

Looks like Bike Bandit has them. $152.48 Part #565769-001

I have the original 21070-001. Not prepared to part with it, but I've just counted 130 links of 3/8 x 1/4 endless chain (there might be some error there).

They do show up on eBay some times, I have a NOS 750B cam chain that I got there

Hi Eric. I took a quick look in Z1 Enterprises (you'll find it in the "links" tab, above). Z1 lists parts for the 750 twins from 76-82. If you can't find the chain itself, contact Jeff the owner. Sometimes he can bring in non listed parts. I sure hope that your chain is less than $150.00 ! I think that I paid $35 or $40 for my 650 cam chain from z1.

I've seen them online but having a problem remembering where, I'll look through my favorite sites and post addy asap

Found it, how about $40 plus shipping only problem is you will have to split the case to install as it is an endless chain just like OEM part. once here look in Motor Parts>Cam chains
