Timing advice?
 

Im rebuilding an engine and I'm up to the putting it back together bit. I have been told the timing advice in the Haynes manual is suspect.

Anyone know where I can download the official manual as all the links I found on the Org were dead.

Or alternatively can someone post the info from the Suzuki manual?

Cheers

Yep the edition i got from the library was dodgy, its obvious as the marks it tells you are there aren't.

filestube.com search 'sv650 manual' its there :-)

Ok can someone look at the pictue and confirm the timing marks are aligned correctly. These are the REAR cylinder at TDC for the rear, I confirmed TDC for the rear by looking at the timing marks on the front cylinder.

I suspect Im slightly out or its just cause the CCT isnt in.

When I move the In cam one tooth back and tighten it up the timing mark 2 is always in this position

Thanks for the help

That is wrong. First you don't set timing on TDC, you set it at F mark. Second intake cam 1R arrow has to be aligned with head.

Sorry set to F (I thought F was TDC)

Re: Timing advice?
 

mmmm my book says 1R alighned to head is front cylinder not rear, I'll have anpther look tomorrow

Re: Timing advice?
 

R is tdc for rear but F is used for cams. That also looks like front intake cam on rear cylinder and why nothing aligns.

Turn around and look for garbage can, throw that book in there. Unless you reading wrong :)

Re: Timing advice?
 

Ah crap I wonder if the cams from my scrap head has gotten mixed up with the ones from the good head.

Hard to tell on picture but that looks like A stamped on cam (in middle of cam) which is front intake.
