Motorcycle Repair: cam chain adjustment, yamaha xs1100, cylinder machine

Question
How do I adjust the cam chain on a 1980 yamaha xs1100 special. This is a 3 cylinder. Thank you.

Answer
Glenn, I don't think that your Yamaha XS1100 is a 3 cylinder bike. They made XS750/850s in triples. The XS1100 is a big bruiser 4 cylinder machine.
