More specifically, I pulled out half of it.<\/p>\n<p>The cam chain guide stops the cam chain from rattling around, skipping teeth and rubbing against the inside of the aluminum engine casing. It&#8217;s really sortof necessary, and I&#8217;m bummed that instead of riding the motorcycle around right now I am frantically trying to find a source for this part. So far I&#8217;ve had no luck &#8212; nothing on ebay or any motorcycle parts shop online. I may have to head to the salvage shop where I originally picked up this bike. I hadn&#8217;t really planned to head downstate in the next couple of weeks, but perhaps I will now.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who&#8217;s interested, you can see a diagram of how it all works by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leapinggnome.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/camchain-diagram.jpg\">here<\/a>.
