cam

Typical retarded velo-question: I know that eventually, even a pansy slow old guy like me will need to replace my cam chain. I keep checking for shavings in the oil (none yet at 190 hrs or so). Can I just check the cam chain tensioner somehow to get an idea of whether or not it's running out of...

Finally got my new VHoldR's! Here is some sweet action of the National Ice Race. I was doing quite terrible, seems my 4 week old shoulder break still isnt treating me nicely. Ah well the Crowds & papers defiantley were liking it! Im the two crashes (intermediate) Really had to work that...

The current engine repair manual shows a cam chain with the sideplate retained by two little clips. It does mention that there are two types, so the other one must be a typical U shaped clip. I suspect that the repair manual picture is a carryover from earlier years. The engine parts manual...

Hello guys, I am a n00b to Huza's so dont really know what to expect from them in terms of sounds they make. My bike is a 2003 400FE that starts on the button or with one kick so I reckon that everything in the combustion part is good. My worry is that when the bike is idling, there is a...

Hi I fitted a new cam chain in a 470 can you tell me if I should use the rivit link or the split link which cam with the chain. The split link seems wider than the rivit link Ian

On the cam sprocket the is a pin used for stopping the auto compression release cam. Has anyone every had a problem with this pin falling out of the sprocket? The pin only looks to be pressed in, if there is a history of this pin falling it may a good idea to TIG weld the back side of the pin...

hello every one, im rebuilding my 2003 650 engine, in replace my worn bearings i need to remove the lower cam chain sproket of the balance weight shaft. i have tryed heating it up and using a puller but is tighter than a ducks ass, anyone know of any tools i can use or tips to get it on. thanks al

Have 01 650 need cam chain ,sprocket , tensioner .Whats the best source for parts in the U.S.the parts on my engine are original and worn. Hear that parts aren't available till begining of October from KTM.

My bike began making a tapping sound and then died this weekend. After getting it home and removing the cam cover, I found a broken valve spring. (see attached). But what concerns me is that there is also some rubbing of the cam lobe on a bolt post that holds the cover. Hopefully you can see it...

Hi everyone, Would anyone happen to know if you can use a 98/newer slider on a 96 600? I understand they moved to a two piece in 98 and they dont sell the old one piece anymore. Thanks!!

i borrowed a timing light yesterday to check the spark timing (which i have never done before).thinking that it must be close ,but i'll get it spot on. well i shouldn't have checked,because its not even close. just can't quite get my brain around it at the moment. i know cam timing is...

I was repairing a leaky rocker cover on my 1998 FE 501e and upon inspection found that the exhaust cam lobe is worn and the case hardening has come off it. Also the cam followers are worn as well. I can get a good s/hand cam shaft for a 1998 501 but it is out of an FC, does anybody know if this...

I have a fe 550e -04 which i have replaced cam chain on and when i checked the tensioner position after 2 hours of usage i found out that i only have one mm left on the tensioner. I have checked the the timing chain tensioner (plastic and found only little wear and i checked timing chain...

Following everyone's advice, I ordered a new cam chain tensioner as well as a new tensioner arm. The new tensioner is longer by about a millimeter, I wonder if it was really worth the purchase, but the new arm (or lever, however you want to call it) seems to be beefier, but does not seem to...

All, I am working on my 95 FE600. After disassembling the top end, I noticed that my cam followers were missing some needles. Intake: 10 needles Exhaust: 14 needles I know there are two designs, one for the newer style, one older. Mine is the older. Question: Can anyone (dealer...

I know some of you have already answered this in the past but I am a little confused about the exact methodology one has to use in order to change the cam chain without screwing up the timing. I have a new chain, with the proper number of links per the manual, a new, updated, lever and a new...

Hi all, You know when you get that all is going to well feeling, you know some has to go wrong well I've just hit it. I've just totally rebuilt my 550 2004 engine every thing went fine until fitting the cam chain, cut the new chain Regina 66 links but when fitted loosely, ie no tensioner...

Hi All, Can any body tell me how many links there are on a standard 550 cam chain?. Sparks.

Just double checking that I didn't mess up, here's what I did. - fitted the balancer, made sure the dot's on the gears are in the right position - fitted the crankshaft and the balancer shaf gear wheel as stated in the owners doc -searched for the TDC using the dead stop method...

Hi! I have changed the kick axle and I am now not sure how to engage the clutch in order to get the exact cam position vs piston position. Se picture. The obvious answer is to place the dot on cam gear in between two dots on main gear. The kick axle retaining the arm engaging kick gear is...
