Hopefully, if I'm incorrect, someone will let us know.
That makes me wonder if it was done intentionally for the (attempted) purpose of improved performance.But getting deeper into the swamp here, If the pitch of the camshaft pulleys and cam gears is different, there presently could be a slight out-of-phase condition.
Maybe the bike will run even better after getting everything back to the OEM condition in the above diagram.
No, only true for the right cams, the left cams use PUNCH MARKSand the lines on the camshaft ends should align with the edge of the head.
Wait. There's a big difference between five degrees (out of 360) and five pulley teeth (out of maybe 40). Which is correct?Lol, thanks Larry! Keep in mind I don’t have that much time with it running!
My concern is that since the LH is out what, 5 or so degrees, that that side is not necessarily timed where it should be. I’m probably overthinking this, something I’ve been accused of before (in another forum, for another bike!) but does it make sense to pull the camshaft and realign the sprocket and the camshaft? As if I’m doing a valve adjustment?
