i have a 2003 400ex and my cam chain jumped a tooth. should i just put it back on the right tooth or get new sprockets? what do you guys think the problemb is? the chain is still tight so i don't think it is the tensioner. let me know thanks

i wasn't riding it when it happened so i don't know but i took it apart and it was off by two or three teeth. the chain was very tight before i took the tensioner off. so i don't think it is any of those. the cam sprocket looked fine and i didn't want to take it apart to get to the crankshaft sproket if i don't have to.
