triplex primaries

[CLEMTOG]

just had a thought, if I do five of these, and join up the off cuts I will have a "FREE" chain!
probably have to admit that the saving of something like 80 quid over buying the Commando chain for under fifty (instead of 130+) is unlikely to encourage more to do it.

I’ve just found a load of NOS Reynolds triplex master/ split link in my chain link drawer, Reynolds obviously thought a split link was a good idea.

Good work, Clem.

Hello everyone.
I'm taking this thread into consideration.
I am retired, passionate about Laverda and owner of a 3cl.
I wonder about the arrow of the triplex chain, during a disassembly without any idea of the life of the motorcycle, nor the mileage of the chain.
Is it possible to "gauge" the wear of this chain by this means of measuring the deflection?
Have a nice day everyone.

Do your primary a favor and fit an IWIS duplex

Salut Anakin.
Change the chain if you don't know its history.
It cost a few euro and it's 2 hours work on a 3CL.

Yes. This was discussed a couple of weeks ago in this thread:

Any advantage with a bigger oil pump?

I will soon be opening up the primary on a 3CL. Time for a new chain, tensioner and clutch rubbers. While I am in there, is there any advantage with upgrading to the later big oil pump? Been riding the bike for 25 years with out problems but am wondering is this a worthwhile upgrade or a waste...
