[QUOTE="Hick, post: 659373, member: 19514"] To my knowledge there is no service limit on the cam chain, having said that I did replace mine on both my YZFs when I replaced the piston/rings. This was at about 100 hours, at which point my '01 still looked as good as new but I already had the parts... My thinking was at roughly $34 it made good financial sense to just replace it. To do so you would need to remove the head cover and cam caps, just as you would if replacing valve shims. You also need to remove the flywheel and (probably) both chain guides, the rear guide bolts to the cases behind the flywheel... Then you just remove the old chain and drop in the new one. To ensure that the tensioner is working properly just disengage it with the head cover off and make sure it is putting good tension on the chain, making it taut between the cam wheels, when you release it. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
