well i've always had top end noise in the zxr - finally took it down to an "expert" who diagnosed worn chain rollers. so time to replace the chain!
now when the motor was apart, this would have been very easy to do - i did speak to another supposed kawasaki expert (he even worked for kawasaki selling spare parts, but as it turns out knew nothing about these bikes so his advice was completly useless) now it's all together & it will be somewhat harder to change.
i suppose i need a tool to split the link on the chain first. having spent a fortune on new engine parts i'm not using an angle grinder to cut the chain! then pull through new chain, fit new guide (already purchased) do a quick valve clearance check again just to make sure (rebuilt motor 500k ago) & that's it?!
so have i forgotten anything? maybe the need for double or tripple jointed fingers to get to everything now the motor is back in the frame?
