Posts: 129 Stockon, CA Gender:	Cam Chain's Measurement to determine life 04/19/17 at 21:04:23 Hey friends, I got the Ver cam chain adjuster, but before I put thing sback together I wanted to get an idea where my cam chain's life is. How do I measure and where do i measure from? What numbers am i looking for? Here is a picture of what my cam chain looked like when i open the compartment.

Couldn't find the detailed sketch I know is in the SSM.
This picture shows new on top and a used chain on the bottom.
And he's measuring the stretch over about 14", not the required 21 pin measurement.
So, stretch out the chain like shown, and it would be good to stretch it a bit. One end on a nail, the other with a bungee cord, weight, whatever. count off 21 pins, measure from center to center, but left edge of the pin to left edge is the same.
127mm or 5" is brand new.
service limit is 128.9mm or 5.075"
While you got it in your hand, check for any stiff links.
I'd replace it if you have any.

I measured the adjuster before I took it out, but I went all the way to the end of it. Which I probably got extra lenght. Im going to subtract te part with the circle to my measurement and get an approximate idea. Thank you Ver. I figured to ask here and help others with the knowledge.
