Timing chain recall visual check

[JBChucktown]

I am having a hard time getting info on whether the timing chain has been repaired through recall work.
2014 gt 650 with only 5000 miles.
how can I visualize if the recall has been made to the hydraulic version it should be? Where to look and what to look for? Thanks!

IIRC, the chain isn't replaced, only the tensioner. And pretty sure you'd have to expose it and compare part numbers to be sure. I think the new version has a slightly larger hole to enable easier passage of lubricant.

Look for the oil line to the cam chain tensioner, details in the files below.

Your dealer would have it documented tell him you want it done

So last fall my cam chain tensioner failed at 75000km and I went to the dealer ordered the tensioner online and the tool to install it. This when I found out the system was converted to a hydrolic so I then bought all the parts needed (around $600) I looked at it and decided not to do it because there is a frost plug beside the oil filter that has to come out. It would be a what if I can't get it out. I gave the bike to the shop after about $750 they could not get the screw out an they found a new old stock in the warehouse to install. While they had the bike I had them do the valves and install the new larger upper chain guide to prevent any future chain skipping gears about $300 for parts and labour
