There should be 2, one for each cylinder I think. One at the front of the engine and one at the back. Have you checked Gadgets website for cam chain adjuster extension replacement instructions ?

Its not hard to install them at all, reading on how to do it on gadgets sight was very detailed and took almost as long to read as doing the job.

Just did mine this weekend. There was oil in the cap of my rear one, which I didn't expect. It was a little awkward getting around the exhaust pipe. Since I have a Thunder air kit, I just had to remove the horn covering the left side and the front cylender went much quicker and easier. In fact, the old end came off much easier at the end of the shaft too.

So I went slow on the first one as I was figuring out what I was doing (using Gadget's instructions) and the second went very quickly. Overall, an easy fix.
