[QUOTE="Papa54, post: 1433889, member: 88170"] I have a 2013 fjr1300a. Something I've noticed lately. I'm approaching 54,000 miles on my bike, and haven't noticed cam chain noise, but my bike seems to have lost some of it's bottom end power. I'm 60 years old and have babied my baby, with synthetic oil, and regular maintenance on schedule, and so on. My thinking is that the cam chain has stretched enough to slightly retard the cam timing. I know from experience on other piston engines, that this tends to bring the power band, further up into the RPM range. Has anyone experienced this, and remedied it ? [/QUOTE]
