    Confused why you did the cam chain so early.
    I looked at mine at 5000k and saw no reason to do it. I owned mine since new.
    They are a pretty impressive bit of chain and would have to be stretched to madness to break I believe.
    I guess it’s done now.
    Man do you have to move on from that bike :)
    My biggest dilemma nowdays is whether I wash my 2 stroke and not whether its going to make it to the end of the ride….Dirt bike riding fun had returned.

    I changed it because it was stretched. The cam gears were lined up correctly on the chain but were meeting below horizontal so the timing would’ve been out plus it was creeping up on the cam gear and I was of the opinion that $150 now would see me comfortable with it for another 5000k at least and I don’t have to worry if the chain is going to come off.

    I will be moving it on around the end of the year if i can work out what to replace it with. I think the 300 is too much bike for me still but who knows.
