Crank stop bolt - updated

I notice the crank stop bolt has a plain "thread rolled" end on it. Is it meant to just push up against the crank at any location? On my prevoius bike (KTM RFS), the crank stop bolt was pointed and engaged in a v groove in the crank wheel. On a Husaberg does one just find TDC and then screw the bolt up against the crank? Is there a flat on the crank wheel to index the crank to TDC?

*********** EDIT **********

The 07 550E has a groove across the face of the crank wheel. It looks to be about a 6mm groove. Very easy to see looking in the crank bolt hole. In the 07 Engine Repair manual pg D4 the groove is visible. There is also a round hole above the crank pin that is not used for TDC locating.

Hi Neil,

I don't know if it is the same for all years but my 04 550 has a hole drilled in the crank web about 5mm diameter. There is a tool you can buy from Husaberg to srew in and hold TDC but it is pretty easy to make one of your own.

Regards

Sparks.

There is a slot machined in the crank wheel for the end of the stop bolt to engage.

I made a stop bolt, see my Gallery for a picture of the bolt.

Thanks for the replies. I had at a look at Joe's picture, and can easily make a bolt like that.
