Secure the camshaft drive chain to prevent it from falling into the crankcase.

Camshaft - Identification

The single camshaft has four lobes; two inlet and two exhaust. The exhaust lobes

contain decompressors, operated by the drive gear.

Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately

supported. This will help prevent it from falling and causing injury to the operator

or damage to the motorcycle.

Accurate camshaft timing can only be obtained using the correct timing method and

service tools as described below.

The camshaft sprockets are attached to the camshafts using slotted fixing holes.

This allows for very accurate valve timing and therefore improved performance and

fuel economy.
