Which side of the bike? Quick guess left side primary chain--right side cam chain? Miles on bike? Any work on bike?

I had a Stator go out on a 95 RK, it started with a whine on the left front, in the primary cover, and then went out altogether.

My guess would be cam chain shoes are worn. Should be checked at 30k to 40k.
