No issues with the bike and engine at all ever since I bought it in June 2008.

After the last service the mechanic told me the chaincam and tensioner were due to replacement, because they became noisy and they recognized the sound as a worn camchain. It is recommended also to replace the tensioner as well at such mileage, so they did both. Together it was around 100,- Euros in parts, but it was a nasty job to do: they had to take off the exhaust to get access to the engine. But no problem, like I said earlier it was the first major issue but not really, because it's normal wear.
