[QUOTE="Pharquarx, post: 8370, member: 1536"] Good morning to all, I am new to the Club and the Forums and located way West of Greenwich in Southern California. I recently imported a clean, pretty much all original 1950 Vincent Comet in operating condition from the UK and am absolutely thrilled. (I was denied everything on two wheels growing up and now that I am 60 and an orphan - I get to do this). I have picked up much of the current and period guides, literature and manuals and, as is my habit, I take apart a little, clean and put back together. Take apart a little more the next time and put back together, etc. I am starting at the rear end of the bike and have two initial questions: How do I know if I need to replace the drive chain? - I have seen the posting recommmending Sprocketsunlimited.com should it need replacement. Secondly, what is the criteria I use to properly adjust the chain adjusters? - I have taken them off to clean them and now want to understand what that criteria is so I can do this right. Looking forward to being a part of this. Charlie [/QUOTE]
