Is it a general, not running right feeling......like the performance feels flat.
I'm figuring it's either that or the coils(anybody know where you can buy micro or "stick" coils? I know ND and Mitsubishi make them but never really seen them aftermarket.)

Re: Worn camchain , what are the symptoms?
Noise too, put a screwdriver to the adjuster and the handle end to your ear, you`ll hear the thrashings of a worn camchain it`ll be pretty noisy! Has your TRX had one in it`s life do you know?
Don`t forget you may have the dreaded pocketed / stretched (whichever you believe) inlet valve issues causing your power losses too.
Pencil coils are readily available, Ebay is full of them, try a search you`ll see. The problem may be getting pencil coils of the right type to suit the TRX ignition system and that you can utilise.

Yeah, get it done next service - probably due for a valve check then too.
