The chains on the 500/560 aren't much of a problem, as they are the double type. The single roller type on the 420/380 is the one that goes fast.
My mechanic recommends checking the stretch every 30,000 miles, with replacement when stretch is 8 degrees at the crank. I would check yours sometime soon, just in case. If the oil have been changed frequently, and the PO used good oil, you shouldn't have a problem. Get a new chain rolled in if there is significant stretch. Cheap insurance! Peter
