I do have a manual for the 400-450 bikes. I'll look to see if your year is in there and let you know.

thanx for your e-mail and will look forward to hearing from you soon

Ummmm, my manual only covers the 250, 400, and 450 twins from '79 - '85. I looked through it and saw no mention of the 425. Looks like it was made in '79 only, and my Haynes book doesn't even have a listing for the 425 in the available manuals.... If you think any info about the ones covered in my manual will help let me know.

Sorry 'bout that

You should be able to verify valve timing by setting #1 cylinder to TDC and checking the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets.

thanx for your reply Earl, when you say the timing marks on the cogs do they align to each other or will there be any marks on the cam-chain housing....

When number one cylinder is a TDC( the left cylinder when seated on the bike) if you look at the ends of the camshaft above the timing cover, there will be small notches that should be pointing at each other and should line up with the gasket face of the cylinder head.
