Front Cam Guide

[kvanderploeg]

OK, in the middle of tear down and I'm finding some fine aluminum and black plastic in the side oil filter. I'm assuming this is most likely the front cam chain guide. So, where does one go to buy them? I'm not seeing them on MikesXS, they're out of stock at 650Central. Are you guys just buying OEM from online retailers? Thanks!

Yeah I can't find it on mikesxs.net but I was able to find the part on xs650direct.com Part #05-0006. Of no help to you at all but atleast you have the part number.

It is still a stock part from Yamaha.

OK, for some reason I'm finding two different part numbers depending on which parts diagram I reference. Which is correct? This is a 1980 engine. Thanks!

OEM Ref.# 256-12231-01

xs650direct.com refrences that as the OEM number.

Part #4H7-12251-00-00 is listed for the XJ and XS400 series.
It does list it as the replacement for the XS650LK but I think it is a typo.
The fit is completely different.

Powersports has it listed in this link $48 plus change.
