so, i took part the engine without checking for timing marks on the crank gear and the balancer shaft gear. i've tried a couple of combinations with no success. crank at TDC, balancer at BDC, cam sprocket marks horizontal. 3/4 of a rev and the piston touches the valves.
Hi all, following on from my previous thread about the snapped tappet.
I have now got two new exhaust valves, new stem seals, water pump seals and other bits, the valves are lapped in and head is back on. All seems to be in order.
Now I am trying to get the cams and crank timed up. I...
I opened up the side of my 01 fe650 to try to fix the starter sprague. Pulled off the clutch and lost my timing. The crank gear and counterbalance gear do not have the dots punched on the gears. How do I figure out things to get this set up properly. Once I find it, I'll mark the gears somehow...
Hy
I have never done anything with a strobe lignt, but I've ordered one to try to set the timming right, the problem is that I've read several times the owners docs and I still can´t understand !!
To make it simple, if I do:
Find TDC (whatever the way)
Make a new mark on the flywheel 5d to the...
heres one for the geeks
i have a liner here that has done just 20 hours. it's relined but perfectly round, it's a supermoto 450 engine 2004 but used for 20 hours on the roads.
the rings have pressed so hard into the liner at BDC in two places; at 9 o clock that it refracts the light in...
working on an '02 650FE and the flywheel marks are wrong by exactly the amout all the others were.
i have yet to see a 650 without them being wrong.
to recap:
get the marks at the top of the flywheel. you have a left and a right mark and they are 5mm apart. you need a third line the...
Hi all i have opened my motor on the left side to change sprague clutch and when i remove the main clutch for the gearbox i messed a little but up a two sprague which have marks on them.
They are in front and one is with two dots on and other with one dot on.
How shall those marks stand...

Hi Folks
I am putting together a basket case Fe350
I believe I have the timing correct but I want to be certian. I cannot find timing marks on the cam sprocket and can only find 2 small dots on the Rotor. When I set the engine at top dead centre one of the small dots line up with a small...

I have searched the archives for a picture but can't find anything.
Does someone have a pic in their gallery they could share?
I adjusted my valves on Sunday and I don't know if it's just me but I couldn't see any marks.
Thanks
I,ve just replaced the stator on a 02 650. The right bearing had gone and wiped out the stator etc.
There are two marks on the flywheel can someone tell me which one I need to line up with the stator to correctly set the ignition.
The pictures on the manual are not clear enough to show this...
checked the TDC on mine again tonight and as told before-the TDC marks as supplied on the flywheel are out but did i say 13 degrees out!!!!
Jesus H!!!!
so i rescribed the marks tonight and have provisionally set the ignition again-static. the book says that the ignition should be set with...
