    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cam timing way off?!

So I have a post a few down from here about a chatter when the bike warms up and I was bouncing ideas off of a guy I work with who builds NHRA race cars. We got to talk about timing and to make a long story short I think my cam timing is way off. See the pics below

And this is what the cam sprocket looks like. About an entire tooth off!

How could this have happened? I don't even know where to start in order to fix and and I can only pray I don't have burnt valves. She starts and runs fine and has plenty of power but after about 10-15 minutes of riding the top end starts making all kinds of noise. At least I think it's the top end...
 
Turn the crank until the top dead center mark lines up, then look at the cam. You're on the wrong mark.
 
OK, looks like one tooth off on the exhaust and the 3 on the intake looks like 19 from the 2 on the exhaust?

Move the exhaust by one and the intake will be in the right place?
 
19 is what is should be according to the manual (and what it is). How would I move them by 1 tooth if the exhaust is still out by one?

Looks like it is retarded by about a 1/2 tooth
