             Would not worry about it mate an less it starts making a bad rattling noise it’s not a part changed on mileage . I have seen the xt660 with over 30.000 on them still on same cam chain. Seen a cbr 929 with 97,000 miles on it still on same cam chain. If bike has been looked after and serviced regularly I would not worry about it. I have two 2007 xt660r both still on the original cam chains.

             Personally first job for me on any new bike /car is an oil and filter change.
             Maintaining the oil and filter is a MUST imho. Keep it stock or mod it?..hmmm...MOD IT!!! It's all in the forum as is Kev's MOD cd(which is actually a download). Lots of easy mods starting from a KEV mod to firm up the front end,to his mods to sort running issues. Best �10 mod I made was to join the forum!! |
