cam chain guide

Hello All, Just recently purchased a 1983 XS650 that had been converted to a hardtail bobber here is South Jersey. No idea how many miles are on the bike. So far as I can tell it has an XS PMA Charge System and a Pamco Ignition installed with the mechanical auto-advancer. Looks like the frame...

Helloo there. I have been eyeballing xs650's for quite some time and the wife finally let me pull the trigger on one and what did I do? yep, I stripped it all down and chopped the back of the frame. HAHA It's a terrible feeling let me tell you. I immediately searched craigslist to reassure...

hey fam! I’m posting a video of how my bike is currently running. I know these bike are notorious for being noisy but I feel like mine has gradually gotten louder over the last 500 miles I put down since buying the bike. Like I mentioned, 1977 XS650D. Just adjusted cam chain tension flush...

If you want to read the conversation that precipitated this modification, it starts here. It's quiet the slog.... 'bout 10 pages... and I'm not gonna re-hash it all here.

Hey all who read this, I'm starting to notice this slapping sound coming from the right front area. As I accelerate the slapping noise gets more pronounced, it fades a bit as the bike gets to running temp. Now I know that I have set myself up for a few jokes about the mysterious 'slapping' sound...

I just about have all the parts I need to start my rebuild, but lack a few pricey ones such as what MikesXS calls the "Cam Chain Tensioner Pivot Arm Assembly". OEM its called Guide, Stopper 2. A new one will cost $65 + the hefty S&H fee for UPS delivery. I've read some criticism about the...

So the front cam chain guides have been out of stock on the internet for awhile now and mine just starting breaking up. I have a run I need to go on next week. What the hell am I supposed to do? Had a friend that shipped me a use done ASAP but when I got it, it was in worse shape than mine! So...
