I have read a lot of discussion on finding metal and plastic in the oil filter screen. I recently found a few (3-4) small pieces of plastic in the screen and after cleaning the screen, metal flakes in the bottom of the bucket of kerosene (I didn't see them until I had cleaned it). My question is: does that mean I should get a new cam chain guide right away? If so, what else should I have done while it is being done? The bike has about 11,500 miles and is a 1980. I am only slightly mechanically inclined, so more than likely it'll be a mechanic doing it for me. Thanks!
