Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a great day. Me? Could be better...
I’m doing a bunch of work on my new to me ST1100 and got to the point today of changing the timing belt. The challenge is that no matter how many times I rotate the crankshaft, the left cam sprocket never aligns with the other two marks, cam and crank.
As usual left and right are from the riders position.
I can align the right cam and the crankshaft marks but then the left hand cam mark is pointing straight up.
This is a two owner bike (I’m #3) and been serviced for the last 9 years a a good shop here in town. Total mileage is 130,000 or 210,000km. Note that this is a “new” engine with 7,500 miles on it when installed some time ago.
I’m assuming I’m doing something wrong here but I can’t think of what.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance,
G
