Hi All!
Have anybody never changed the Cam chain on Mille.My bike during the riding at 5000rpm starts to give strange noises(like stones inside of the engine) only from 5000rpm , under that you cant hear nothing.I think it will be the cam chain.Now i planning to repleace it and im just thinking that the chain guide must be changed as well or its not necessery?
Please if somebody have or had a same issue let me know!
Thank you!

I wish wide roads for everyone!

It may just be the tensioner...they are known to fail on the odd occasion. Cam chains seldom go unless the tensioner let go a long time ago. Give Griff at A.P a call and discuss with him.

i too am convinced thats more like the cam chain tensioner...ive seen a broken tensioner blade too that gave a similar symptom, but more likely the tensioner...easy fix too!
