Hi
How often should the cam chain be changed on a pointy please? Bearing in mind mine is a race bike, change the one on my 400 every couple of seasons,but looks a tea pig of a job on an sv? Cheers Stuart |

It is, I don't know of more than maybe one person who has done it. Try posting in the racing forum, but on the road, it's a very rare thing indeed

I don't think they are considered a weak point and don't think I'd replace them as a routine service item even on a race bike
