How to handle the break-in

[LePetitPrince]

I'm changing the metal tensioner into a rubber one with a big pin chain for my Norton. I'm good with DIY so I ain't worried about the installation but the break-in is what I don't know of. How to go about it? Thanks.

I think it's a nice upgrade for the Norton! For the break in, just take it easy for the first little while, maybe 50-100 miles. Gentle riding, varying the speed, and definitely check the chain tension. After that, you should be good to ride it

Yeah, swapping to a rubber tensioner is a good move for smoother running!
For break-in, I would also do what @MuscleDad suggested and let everything settle in nicely!
Avoid hard acceleration and high revs!
And yes, it's important to check the chain tension regularly during this period as new chains can stretch a bit initially!
Happy riding!
