Timing chain replacement

My bike needs new timing chains.

Honda vf 750 f rc15 blue 1983.

what is the easy way of doing that ?

The bike has run 65000 km on the original timing chains.
Have new one´s with new assembel links, how do i close the new links ?

Please help first time doing timing chains on the vf.

a chain riveting tool would be used

 

I don't have one what then

 

buy or rent one

 

It's 600+ dk kr. No renting of tools in dk

 

damn that is pricey

 

If you have a regular mechanic or shop that you use try to see if they will lone you one.
Are you changing your tensioners at the same time. Pictures of the procedure would be
appreciated.

 

Proper tool or you WILL screw it up.

But wait !! You could most likely find a removable clip-type end link to connect the chain, without too much worry cuz Honda did most early engines like that. :uncomfortableness:

When you're done, just be triple-dawg-damned sure to slowly turn the engine 3 or 4 revolutions with a wrench on the end of the crank, stopping quick if you feel any resistance.

 

I found chain riveting tool i germany for 373 kr. half price from dk.

tensioners will be looked at, but vill se how they look, if bad then new ones.

pictures vil be made :eagerness:

 

Are those for the silent type hy-vo chains, or the conventional roller type chain?

If it's for the hy-vo chains, I'm interested. It'd be awesome not to split the cases, and it's expensive to get the proper length of timing chain. I think this type of chain is called "82RH2015", not sure though. I'm told that D.I.D. sold the OEM chains to Honda.

Z1 Enterprises has the stake-type cam chain master links and bulk chain. They claim there's a breaker/riveter tool too, but I couldn't find it. Wonder if this riveting/joining kit would work?

 

Does the internet not ship to Denmark?

 

It is the emco tool that I ordered. Chains is endless original type chains
