Don't know where you heard that about the chain replacement. My bike had 68000 miles (110000km) and all is fine with the timing chains. The tensioners do wear out about evey 30-40k miles is my experience. The tensioners could be bad or going. Does it make rattle noises, sound like loose valves. If not all is fine.
