Yes, you get 3 of them.
The 2v air-cooled engines are very simple and easy to work on. You've got 4 valves, and they're easily accessible on the naked bikes.

Thats much easier work than doing this most 4-cyl jap bikes, where the cams have to be removed, you'll need a special tool to remove the shims, and you have 16 shims to deal with.
