Hi there just been told by a mate that he thinks the cam chains need tightening on my rvf! Does the rvf actually have cam chains or are they gear driven?

Nope. No cam chains. They are gear driven as you suggest. Hope that advice didn't come from a mechanic :oops:

And then maybe oil the dry clutch on a passing Ducatti :-)
