Yeah dude they are recommending changing the chain because the chains and guides are a weakness in these motors. I've had to do mine twice, first the guide broke on the highway, then a year later the chain stretched and hopped a tooth.
It shouldn't be more than an afternoon job and $140 for someone with the tools and know how.
I get that's not what you asked for, but TOTALLY worth doing, specially since a broken chain can obliterate these motors.

I just had to replace the chain I installed last February, cheap chain kit from EBay, I got what I paid for.
I ordered the Cloyes 9-4201SA kit but for the SS I recommend the 9-4201SX kit it doesn’t include sprocket for the crank which is specifically for the LNF and the 9-4202SX balance shaft chain kit, but be aware you must reuse the crankshaft balance chain sprocket, it to is LNF specific , so you don’t replace the sprockets or pay for them and let them collect dust in your parts pile!
