Being your first motorcycle, I do not expect you to carry out any repairs yourself. If it idles and runs well, you can ignore the timing chain. However if you find a lot of unnecessary noise coming from the top of your cylinder head, then probably it is time you took it to a professional who will help you to do the needful. In later models a self adjusting mechanism was introduced which took up the slack in a worn chain automatically.
