Cam chain replacement

[Tom R]

I’ve used D.I.D. Gold on gold Kart chains on several bikes, including my gs1100. A guy named Michael Bateman used them in his racebikes and was impressed with the lack of wear he’d measure when he inspected them. Was good enough for me. Look up group w racing.

So how many links is a standard GS cam chain? And Motorcycle-nut, was that chain you listed spot on or did you need remove links to get where you needed to be??

Can you provide some more info, like part numbers, parts source, anything else?

Thanks

FYI. The question about cam chain wear came up on another thread a while ago (forget which one) so for sh1ts and giggles decided I measured mine. At 80,000 kms mine measured at less than 1/2 of what the factory service limit is. The would probably mean at somewhere over 100,000 miles it may need replacing.
