I would have the cam chain tensioners inspected/replaced with that many miles on an 03, could save you a lot of headaches and money down the road!

My tensioners were checked every 10,000 and finally gave up the ghost at 81,000 miles.

I would check them now just so you know, and then every 10,000 thereafter. The consequences of a wrong guess are pretty severe.

In a couple of hours you'll be riding again knowing what ya' got down there!
