50K miles replacing the cam chain

Replacing the cam chain and the cam chain guides on an 02' busa. I removed the hollow bolt and the spring on the back of the cam chain adjuster, then carefully removed the adjuster. The plunger is all the way out so no more adjustment. When I replace the cam chain and the front, rear and top cam chain guides, should I be replacing the sprockets too (cam sprockets and crankshaft sprocket)
Please advise.
Thanks.
 
When the adjuster is reinstalled, you need to reset it to put it back in, as far as it being all the way out, when its installed, it is not.
You stated that your replacing the guides, without removing the cylinder head, you cant remove one of them.
As for the sprocket, you do not need to replace them, as well as there are several members with 100k on there stock cam chains.
 
If your set on replacing it, buy the V&H one (is just a DID chain) but it is stronger. but GIXERHP is right - no way to repalce the guides without pulling the head.
