Took the cam chain tensioner off today and it on the last click.
All my parts lists show the cam chain as BF04MA with 112 links
Anyone know the right after market chain for the 3en1?

Thanks cagiva996,
Could you count the links on the chain. I think the sp has a shorter chain than the 3en1?

Hi cagiva996, not sure at this moment which is the right length.
Anyone know which is the right chain length?
Sudco reference Tsubaki BF04MA with 112 links which match my parts catalogues but a bunch of
sites list the DID 215x110 links.
P.S Anyone know the actual did catalogue number ?

try this link buzzawak -according to this site that sells all yam 400 cam chains from the 2tk to 3tj2 it looks like their all the same at 215/110 but check it out and have a look.

Are you sure your chain is too long?
When you take the chain tensioner out, it will push out to the last klick everytime.
I thought the same when i repaired my motor

Except the times when you undo the 10mm bolt on the top first and release the spring tension.
Sorry I have a bad habit of being a smart ass

Its cool, No I am pretty sure the chain needs doing.
Dark thank you for reading and replying.
