I need to remove mine to restore it. Do you lever it out from the front or remove the whole alternator cover and push it out from the back?

I’ve used the baking soda / superglue method, it’s works very well. Sets like rock instantly.

Timpsons can cut those keys. My branch had to order the blanks in but only took a couple of days.

Where abouts in Bucks?
I’m just by J5 M40, on the border with Oxfordshire.

Thanks Bryan, I’ll check the condition of mine tomorrow.

Are there alloy ones available for other models?
Just in the process of stripping down my 550, haven’t closely examined my tensioner yet but I know replacements from DS are £££.

What about the Keihin 022A’s ? Got those on my 74 550 and they’ve been fine for the last 5 years.

Wouldn't change in both gearing AND tachometer give the correct instrument reading in this case ?
That’s what I thought, I’ve read several posts on mainly the US site about this and they state you only need cam, drive gear and tacho.

I have the 650 drive gear and a 650 tacho so hopefully all good to go.

Forgot to say, the bike has 16500 miles supposedly from new. The rest of the engine looks perfect, there are no ridges on the inside of the barrels.

Luckily I already have a replacement cam to go in. I’m going to stick a CB650 cam in, supposed to be a good mod for a little bit more power.

Engine was running perfectly, I’ve only stripped the top end due to oil leaks.
Found damage to most of the lobes on the cam. There is no damage to the rest of the cam where it sits in the head and no damage to the rockers.
Also found this tiny disk of metal, about 2mm thick by 5mm diameter. Don’t think it’s part of the engine.
