Hi all,
How bigger job is it to replace a hyvo chain on a 550K3, I am so fed up with the knocking noise on tick over. :(

Full engine strip. Have you fully serviced the bike and synced the carbs to see if the noise lessens?

Cheers Julie, I had my old schoolmate Trevor Stafford who owns Allbikes in Folkestone, Kent service and sync the carbs, still came back noisy. That when he told me it is the Hyvo chain.
Oddjob, alas I have very limited engine knowledge, so probably just put up with the knocking :'( :'( :'(

Mmmm, if it's knocking, its letting you know it's time, if not overdue, for a new chain. It will only get worse and may cause damage internally. But, I quite understand what you're saying, if you're not mechanically minded it will seem a daunting task.

I am trying to become mechanically minded, I am thinking of rebuilding the 400/4 engine, I have been reading your thread. Perhaps I will give the 550 a go if successful with the 400. ;D

Sounds like an excellent idea 👍👍👍
