Just a quick opinion check, the bike has a little over 23k miles runs great no funny noises, how imperative is it that the lifters and cam bearing are changed ? I am planning on doing a cam install at some point but can't really swing it just yet , my question is am I risking the motor by not swapping the lifters and came bearing asap

I don't know how much riding you do but it will take you a while to get there from 23k.
