As it says in the title - mate's engine has this gearing, current chain is hanging there but ain't counted the links - thought it would be better to seek expert advice on here before ordering!!

Stretched 80 link chain is what ya want and ya can't buy 'em already stretched

What gearbox are they using?
I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.

You run it for a couple of years until its worn and shagged. :)

Alternatively he could get the next size up and use an adjustable chain tensioner.

I was thinking an 81 link, there's an MB tensioner and a camlam bottom guide so thought the adjustment is there, I'll count the links on the chain in there in the morn but there must be 2" play in the thing, it wanted out!!! :freak:
