i have an RD04 with 60.000 km. Working like a Swiss Watch.
Absolutely no noise from the engine.
It works like it would be the first day.
I don't intend to change the chains befrore 100.000 kms.
If i have to, i shall burn the @ to the bone !
Generaly you can hear very well when the chains are ready for a replacement.
They make a frightening noise, very similar to a worn final drive chain.
the diference is : the noise comes from inside the engine.
the first thing you'll think is that there are lose parts flying inside the engine.
if you are a conscienced rider, and you don't torture your machine, i am shure
the the chains will last for a lot more kms.
Don't worry, the chains don't brake form one day to another, you shall know thw right time.
DON'T try to change them yourself, unless you are VERY SKILLED in MECHANICS.
I have a friend who owns a YAM TDM850, the chains started to be heard at +/- 95.000 km.
the bike has now 130.000 kms and you can hear the chains rattle and scream 10 meters away from the bike
thus he has no money he decided to drive as long as they dont't brake ( it is his bike, i don't care..)
Warning : If they brake, you could need a whole new engine. because this could damage :
pistons, cilinders, valves, camshafts, crancshaft, etc, etc...

What's a 'distribution chains'?

Sorry for the bad definition, I try to explain in other way:
THE CHAINS THAT TRASMIT THE MOVEMENT FROM THE CRANKSHAFT TO THE SHAFT OF THE
VALVES!!
