Excellent! What made them replace the cam chain?
I had my 2008 ABS in for it's first valve adjustment at 112,000 miles, and was told that the valves were still in spec. The cam chain was replaced, but everything else was ok. I can only attribute this to using Castrol full synthetic oil every 5k with NAPA Gold (Wix) oil filters after the initial 3k break in. I ride year round, in the Pacific Northwest with it's wet winters. I was going to consider a new one, but I'm going for 200k first!

Glad to hear it has run so well w/o spending $700.+ and leaving your bike for a week with some dork who claims to have checked the lifters. My cam chain is also really noisy on all starts and is my only complaint with the bike so far- is that why they replaced yours?
Great to know about the noise, I though the starter was hanging up.
