I've never read or heard anything about timing chain issues.   On the other hand, I've heard/read dozens of instances of clutch problems - and mine is slipping with 20,000 miles.    On the list to fix.

I have a 99 drifter 1500 with about 38000 miles on it. How often is the timing chain tensioner an issue with these bikes? I'm not having a problem yet. I did have to replace the clutch spring with a mean streak type. thats all ive had to do to her so far.
