That's what I was wondering too. Did you get another brand of chain?
Plenty of KM on mine and I've had no issue with the cam chain. Could be I can't hear squat with the Two Bros' pipe, ear plugs and all.

No, you got an OZ bike and they seem to be 10X better, that's probably why.

Maybe a bad batch of cam chains. Its just when I did the repair, I found the chain was over stretched beyond the service limit. And it doesn't take much, an 1/16" is the difference between new and stretched.

If the OEM parts are bad, I'll find out 1,500miles later. About 2,800miles odo is when my cam chain was clanking, replaced at 5,000miles.
