Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question No that's fine. Mine was like that as well. Important when re installing them is the 16 pins as indicated in the diagram. Also ensuring there's no slack in the front of the chain between the crank...

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Your valves will be fine as long as it's put back together right.

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Theoretically if you put the rear cams back exactly where they were regardless of timing marks, it would be fine. Personally I'd do it the correct way so as to avoid expensive mistakes. Hold the...

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question I'm not sure what you mean by ''put it all back exactly where it is now''.

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question The timing marks on the rear cylinder cam shafts won't be properly aligned if the crank is set on the R mark, which without seeing your bike I suspect is where you are going wrong. Don't remove...

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Read my previous post. Go back to the front cylinder and set the F timing mark on the crank until the front cylinder camshaft timing marks line up. Now rotate the crank a full 360 degrees anti...

Replies: 45 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Views: 5,792 Posted By Dave-the-rave Re: 2005 SV650s Valve Clearance Question Something to be aware of here. There's two procedures for setting crank position. One for checking the valves and another for adjusting the valves. They're not the same.
