Here's another tip.

When the bike is new, the marks on the cam sprocket ('L' and 'R'), should align very well with the marks on the cam inspection ports when the TDC mark on the flywheel aligns with the inspection hole of the stator cover.

As you ride more miles the cam timing chain will gradually elongate. When the marks on the cam sprocket no longer align very well with the marks on the cam inspection ports, it is time to replace the cam chain.
