To replace the cam chain on a 2005 Honda TRX650FA, follow these general steps:
Tools and Parts Needed: - Replacement cam chain - Basic hand tools (sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers) - Torque wrench - Flywheel puller - Gasket set - Service manual (recommended for torque specs and timing)
Procedure:
1. Preparation: - Disconnect the battery. - Remove body panels, seat, and fuel tank for access. - Drain engine oil and coolant.
2. Engine Disassembly: - Remove the front engine covers, recoil starter, and timing inspection covers. - Remove valve covers and spark plug. - Set the engine to Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke using timing marks on the flywheel.
3. Remove Components: - Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and the sprocket (mark chain and sprocket for alignment). - Remove the timing chain tensioner. - Remove the cylinder head cover and camshaft. - If needed, remove the flywheel and side cover to access the lower end of the cam chain.
4. Replace Cam Chain: - Remove the old cam chain. - Install the new chain, routing it over the crankshaft sprocket and up to the camshaft. - Ensure the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft are aligned properly.
5. Reassembly: - Reinstall camshaft, sprocket, and tensioner. - Torque all bolts to spec. - Reinstall cylinder head cover, side covers, and all removed components. - Refill engine oil and coolant.
6. Final Steps: - Rotate engine manually to ensure proper timing. - Reconnect battery and test start the engine. - Check for leaks and unusual noises.
Note: Accurate timing and torque specs are critical. Use a service manual specific to the 2005 Honda TRX650FA for details.
