So issues.... I get everything disassembled. Cam sprocket has a bunch of rough edges. I look on the back and the chain has wore into it... A bit. It doesn't look horrific.
I did happen to measure bearing depth before I took it out. And when I put the new one in it was not in as deep. The fuel Moto tool bottoms on the case with a bit more depth for bearing. I was like OK... I looked at old cam and wear was deeper but not centered figured it was fine.
So I install sprockets and check alignment... Not even close. WAY OFF. The cam sprocket was not out enough. Which makes sense for wear on back of sprocket. I had to go get a shim kit... A 0.110 came out, and I had ro put a 0.130 in, which is pretty perfect.
So I really think it wasn't right from the factory. There should not be that wear, and I didn't need to measure it was clearly misaligned by eye. What do you guys think? Ever see that before?

I finished thing up and got to get on it today. Everything seems good. I honestly think it's quieter. Still a little odd on it. I can look again later. Maybe I will replace things later.
Nobody else ever seen that?
