Stick with the chain.
Use a new chain and the real Guzzi tensioner. In my opinion, the
Valtek one's way too noisy.
I've had my '73 converted to run the steel gears. It's quite a bit of
work, and they're noisy, too, so I'd never do it again.

Hi there fellow lopperz, Well the 74 LAPD is all apart and I've looked at the timing chain (and gears) for the 1st time ... uh huh... so much slack the chain was wearing on the side of the case. So... I'm considering gears since I need sprockets and chain. What's your opinion? Price vs. longevity. Just did the sprockets and chain on the LeMans and it was pretty straight forward. There have been gears (and chains) on my fav. flea e-market (Ebay) but none today. What's yer thoughts on this...? Thanks HDot 73 V7 Sport basket 74 LAPD 78 Lemans some kinda Pugeot motobike... ============================================================ Valid Entry Documents Awaiting.
