All the books I have tell me how to adjust my primary chain when hot. Can anyone tell me what sort of adjustment is required when cold so I can get the bike running and re-check when hot please
thanks

It's never given me a problem! I suppose a bit looser when cold as the engine must "grow" when hot? The primary chain lasts for an incredible mileage if oiled and tensioned. Iv'e been nearly "round the clock" on one!

thanks for the reply Alan. My motor has just been rebuilt so I'm keen to find out a starting point at least till I get her warmed up.
