Unfortunately that is the camshaft itself ....
i have a 82 xs650, its my first bike and im also building it so im getting the "ultimate experience". i recently purchased a PAMCO ignition/starter from mikesxs.net, as i was getting ready to install it i took the cover caps off to find out that this center piece which is located on the left side of the engine ( left side and right side is determined by sitting on the bike as if you were driving it.) is broken. i need suggestions on how to remove it.
thanks,
jeff
