Noobens , great little bike . When I ride mine around I look like one of those carnival bears riding a bike so maybe bulldogs on the side covers are appropriate .
I assume since you pulled the cylinder and head you just wired the cam chain up in some manner . Yes you should pull the side cover and the stator, rotor to get to the cam chain . You should pull the cam chain tensioner arm and guide pulley . This will give you slack to join the cam chain and you'll make sure the cam to crank alignment is correct .
It's cool that you have your own shop and I can see the equipment in the photos and I glad you tackle these older bikes to keep them going . Most of the franchise dealers won't work on bikes 10 years or older and heaven forbid you go to their parts dept. for anything !!
It's forums on the internet that are keeping more people interested in older vehicles and guys like you that are willing to work on them that will keep everyone involved in our hobby and enjoyment of our bikes.
