how hard is that to fix and how much money is required. is it in the engine or where is it located at

there are several threads on it.. but from what i've read most people go with a drz chain as they are more heavy duty.. not sure on cost but i would guess less than $75 for chain and gaskets and such.. i haven't done it though so you might check some of the other threads to see what those that have done had to say

i just put a new cam chain in my bike. bought a DID heavy duty one for around 60 bucks i think? cant remember. simple to put in if you have the right tool for it. there is a tool my dads friend brought over, a c-clamp lookin thing. it broke the old chain, attatched it to the new one and then we pulled it threw, and then attatched the new chain back together. all you have to take off is the valve cover.
