Default C50 Cam Chain/Engine Issues

Just checking in to see if the C riders are having the same issues some of us on the M are having. Personally, I had to replace cam chain assemblies and get new piston rings put on around the 30,000mi mark on my M. At least one other rider just did a similar top-end rebuild right in the same mileage area. Now we have two riders with drivetrain issues.

Being as the C shares an engine with the M, are any of the C's having problems?? We're all right around the 30K mark or slightly over and I think all the bikes with problems have been 2005 models.
