I recently ran my chaincase out of oil and wondered if the chain has seen its better days and is stretched out to the point where I should replace it. It is off a 99 MM 600.
 

I hope I can explain this understandably. If you hold the chain on the sprocket at say 9 and 3 o'clock position and you can pull chain slack off the sprocket at the 12 o'clock position then it got stretched. Any wear marks on the sprocket teeth means time to replace. A neighbor got back from the mountains with a bad set due to plug coming out the bottom of the case. He had the stretch and bad wear on the teeth of sprocket. Viper XC
