camshaft wear??

[jimklr250]

I have a 91 KLR250 with 6100 miles that I bought used that has the same problem with the scratches in the cams. My mechanic said that this was common around that mileage. He said it will be fine for right now, but in the near future it will need cams. I don't think Kawi will void the warranty just because you performed the adjustment. In my owners manual it just says that Kawi won't be responsible for damage from incorrect maintenance or improper adjustment from the owner. Sounds to me if you do it right, your covered.
