Umm correct me if I'm wrong but it makes no difference where the camshaft pin is as long as the two bolts holding the sprocket on are horizontal.  There have been many threads about this here and on other forums and I belive it is now put to bed.  Because each cylinder sparks on each stroke ie exhaust and compression then ignition timing is not an issue on these bikes.

BTW Cephas - what bought this on?

Thanks all for the welcome!

I've been doing a five day week for the first time in donkeys and getting some bills out the way.  At the same time I've been in the process of moving to a new house which won't have even one tenth of the work space I'm used to.  Because of the work thing and the fact the two places are 35 km's apart and the bikes at the wrong end of it all I haven't done a thing to her in a while. 

I can make a bit of noise though if you want....

Don't bother with a temp gauge and fit an electric fan instead. when the fan comes on you know it is hot.  Electric fan must reduce the load on the cam chain and tensioner as well.  Just a suggestion from the house of 650.  The work so far is amazing and the crome head light and gauges look just right..

Thanks "Young" Les,

That's a good idea regarding the fan, I'll look into that. It's nice to be part of a supportive forum that's full of good ideas.

Cheers,

I could send you a long list of incompetent slow roofers in the north that I took to court at the time of the Cowra gathering but I suppose it would not help (replaced my ridge capping 5 times and it is still faulty, refitted solar heater 3 times and most of the sheeting twice and wrecked the insulation, job took 13 months).  Always get a recommendation from someone you know or learn how to do it yourself, just like the CX.

Thanks Seagrass, I am hoping to ride it and not ever spanner it enough to see these parts but good explanations always help when in need.
