Yet another top end rebuild thread! I've been on and off with this bike for quite some time, and finally decided to pull the trigger on that cam chain guide replacement. 5twins was a huge help in helping me figure out all the parts and tools I needed. The thread can be found here: http://www.xs650.com/threads/cam-chain-guide-replacement-parts-list.52845/#post-561251
I purchased a top end seal kit and cam chain guide from Mike's, a chain breaker and valve spring compressor from eBay, and a cam chain with master link from Partzilla. I wanna say this was about $130 in parts.
Anyway, this is meant for me to document my progress, get some info along the way, and provide resources for anyone else doing the same. Here we go!
