They are available on Ebay also, non-OEM.
Don't forget to replace the 2 rubber cam plugs.

Thanks man. I got the 2 rubber cam plugs coming from parts-n- more and the gasket from ebay.

I never done this before but I'm gonna try.

Ok brother, good luck.
The hardest part is getting everything out of the way above the cover to gain clearance to remove it. Also be careful not to snap any bolts off or strip the hex heads.

speedlimit85, clean area of any oil where cam end plugs go, then a thin smear of Ultra Grey permatex on bottom of cam end plugs and install. This will eliminate any oil weeping in those locations.

Alright. I did it. Thanks guys. I used the permatex under the rubber. I torqued in stages from the inner bolts to the outer ones like I read here somewhere. The hardest part was getting the stuff out of the way and getting all the old gasket off- I used a putty knife wd-40 and gas on a rag.

Good job. They usually need to be re-torqued after a few hundred miles or sooner if it starts to leak. I usually wait for a slight leak and then re-torque.

I'm curious. How is it that when we bought these new we never re-torqued ANYTHING "a few 100 miles later"? Seriously. wth?

The 500 mile "first service" was when it should have been done. I worked for a small Yamaha shop, and put my first XS1100 together from the crate.
