1 tooth off cam timing 1150?

I got motivated to adjust my valves, it's been about 8-9 thou since the last adjustment. While cranking over the crank to the T mark. I noticed this. Look at the arrow on the intake cam. While the exhaust cam arrow looks flush, the intake looks up slightly. However, the 20 pin count is there, it just doesn't hit the same link shown in the 84 1150 factory manual. The top end hasn't been disturbed since I put a big bore kit in 2001. The exhaust pin above the 2/3 arrow looks right, but not on the intake. I also have a Haynes manual for the 1100, and there's an error in the photo for pin count from one page to the next. Last photo are the notches on the end of the cam relative to the arrows. In the manual shot, the exhaust cam notch looks up slightly. The bike has 93,000 miles on the clock and has been ridden hard this way for the last 10 years. I don't see how I could get the intake cam to hit that pin indicated in the manual without messing up the exhaust which looks right. What do you folks think?

Chain stretch maybe? The bike runs ok I take it. Did you replace the timing chain when you did the big bore kit?
 
The bike runs fine, got me from Washington to Michigan and back, by far the longest road trip I've ever been on. I did not change the cam chain when the kit was installed.
 
Looks good to me as well, if you are refering to the intake cam arrow pointing to the back link and not the front link, as shown in the manual, don't worry about it, as long as the link count is correct and the arrows point where they should.
As you said, it has been running like this since 2001.
 
DAconover,

I count 20 pins, from arrow to arrow. The arrow at roughly 3:00 oclock on the intake cam, is what seems slightly off. Also the manual shows the intake cam pin arrow on a different link than what I have.
 
Agreed. I hate when people provide misinformation. I should have done my homework before posting. Sorry Carter_Turk.
 
Sorry CT, I didn't get your message in time.
20 pin count is good. 11 years w/o issue.
Run it.
