Hi,
The other week I blew my cam gasket. I pulled off the cover and 2 of my cams came with it. I cannot for the life of me get those two cams back in timed correctly. They are to the front cylinder. I read that it is recommended to pull the rocker boxes off to release spring tension. Do I need to drop my motor to do this or should I be able to do this with the motor still in the frame.
I ride an 03 buell xb9r
Thanks

You have to remove the rocker box itself. You will need to replace the gasket under it too. Get a service manual (you can find them online to download)
Do you know if the gasket between the head and the rocker box is buell specific or would a sportster gasket fit.
Everything is complete and the bike is back together, but my issue now, is that the bike starts and idles, but when I give it gas it bogs out and dies. Is this due to poor ignition timing?
Check your static timing. You had to have pulled the cam position sensor when you replaced the gasket.
here is a video of the issue, I hope it's a timing issue because we all know what a b!tch it is to take a look at the fuel filter.

checked my error codes, it's not timing. It's a fuel/air intake issue
14 Engine temperature sensor
15 Intake air temperature sensor
16 Battery voltage
33 Fuell pump
Have you cleared the codes and run it again to verify those apply to the current conditions? Codes could be remaining from previous resolved issues or from turning the ignition on with sensors disconnected.
Yes I agree with Ericz clear codes,and give the bike a little time to learn
