My bike's done about 72,000km and is fairly rattley.
I'm thinking of pulling the rocker cover off and having a look at the camchain tensioner and the slide/guide things to see how worn they are and then probably replacing the camchain.
I haven't ever replaced a camchain before, but I've done the valve shims and think I should be ok doing the camchain, provided I can get my hands on a camchain breaker/joiner thing and figure out how to do it properly.
Does anyone know if the camchain tool has to be a special yamaha one or not and does anyone possibly have one they could lend me? I haven't tried phoning any shops about them yet, thought I'd ask here first. If I have to and they're not way too expensive, I'd rather buy the tool and do it myself than take the bike into a shop to get a mechanic to change the camchain.
