Perhaps humble, but very knowledgeable.
If this works BIG TIME thanks for the info I'ma do this tomorrow and crank it over with wrench and see how it goes, there is some kit and miss info out there on this basic procedure surprisingly perhaps. Yeah, maybe it's a older motor on the 95 frame like I mentioned it was a project and everything was mix match feel to it while digging in, hope it works and I apologize to the ST1100 Forum for my sloppy presentation of this project!
These images are from the service manual that I have. It shows the right cylinder cams, idler sprocket being timed to the TF1 mark on the crank, but the left cams and idler sprocket being timed to the TF4 mark on the crank. I don't think this is what you have done? My manual is for the 91-93 model.
Thanks they had probably replaced engine components with different year which is bad when you be digging into it without knowing the engine like over here, though that's what's gotta be going on, like I said it's a $300 marketplace bike. Thanks big time if this works out!

I don't get it though the belt is on the entire time or rotate with belt off then rotate then slide on the belt to the left side cams? You know what I mean anyone?

It might be older engine on newer frame it's gotta be timing the valves were only .003 off the most, already did that by the book
Think it's the T4 on this one not T1
@andrew24 ... the keywords here are "and the camshafts" it sounds like you have the pulleys in time but the camshafts need to be in time with the pulleys/gears. It is obvious that someone has removed a cam(s) and put it/them back in wrong. The cams can be installed out of time anywhere from 1-359 degrees even with the belt and pulleys in time
That Dawn Powerwash stuff works amazing. Along with powerful grease cutters, it has water in it as well.
So, does that mean that, at this moment, the cams are out of both heads? If so, as previously mentioned, does the engine easily rotate 360 degrees.
