I never checked the Valves clearences, i havent checked the cam chain and the tensioner.

I read somewhere that you have to change it at 36.000 kilometers.
Mine has gone 35 now.

Re: How to change the Cam Chain ?
you change it when it needs changing, if its not rattling at low revs, then dont change it.
there are 2 ways, engine stripdown and fit a continuous chain, or split the existing chain, feed the new chain onto that, and then join the ende together when the new chain gets would to the top again...on a 400cc a riveted end is fine, for anything bigger i would always use a continuous link.
