Cam Timing Procedure With Pictures

NOTE: The cam chain tensioners must be installed before setting the
cam timing.

1. Set the front piston to TDC and lock the crank in position with the
timing pin. (Tip: Use a paint pen to put a mark the pinion gear
pointing to the center of the front cylinder)

2. Insert the 6mm pin through the front cam with the intake lobes
facing forward and the decompression lever above the roller on the
exhaust rocker arm. Torque the front cam gear retaining screw to 35
Nm. (The front cam gear retaining screw is left-hand thread)

3. Rotate the crank pinion nut clockwise 283 degrees to set the rear
piston on TDC and lock it in position with the timing pin. (The paint
mark should now be pointing to the center of the rear cylinder.)

4. Insert the 6mm pin through the rear cam with all the lobes facing
forward and the decompression lever below the roller on the exhaust
rocker arm. Torque the rear cam gear retaining screw to 35 Nm.
