Looks Like cam chain time.
Took the cam chain tensioner off today and it on the last click.
All my parts lists show the cam chain as BF04MA with 112 links
Anyone know the right after market chain for the 3en1?

Thanks cagiva996,
Could you count the links on the chain. I think the sp has a shorter chain than the 3en1?

Hi cagiva996, not sure at this moment which is the right length.cagiva996 wrote:popped it out of the packaging and i make it 109 links not including the soft link-sorry bud but it looks like its too short.
Anyone know which is the right chain length?
Sudco reference Tsubaki BF04MA with 112 links which match my parts catalogues but a bunch of
sites list the DID 215x110 links.
P.S Anyone know the actual did catalogue number ?

When you take the chain tensioner out, it will push out to the last klick everytime.
I thought the same when i repaired my motor

Except the times when you undo the 10mm bolt on the top first and release the spring tension.Dark Coke wrote: Are you sure your chain is too long?
