Hi mate welcome to Firestorm world, great underrated bikes.
Please go to workshop section and read up on the CCT issue [Cam Chain Tensioner], and take action to make sure you dont have a costly failure when the chain jumps and introduces your valves to the piston.
can be fixed for very little cost, but please dont ignore it and hope it wont happen to you
