If the timing chain does snap, it'll be a nice excuse to rebuild the motor to give it another 200K miles. But, really, if your motor is running well with 267K, I bet the oil has been changed often enough to keep that chain in fine shape. I wouldn't worry about it, but you can if you like.
My '87 900s has over 250K on it as well. It runs ok, could use a rebuild at some date; I've never changed the timing chain, just changed the oil routinely. I rev the engine up high often because I find the motor runs better overall if I rev it high a few times everytime I take it out.
