With the help of this helpful write up I have measured the valve clearences, I found that all the inlet clearences were tight so removed and ground them to sufficent size.

I have replaced them in the cups but am now stumped. What marks do I follow to set the timing? I marked did mark the cams before removing them but im now not confident my marks line up.

Can anybody give me some direction?

Thanks

I'll give it a go, hehe...

Engine timing set to TDC

Camshafts postitioned with cam lobes at No. 1 cylinder facing away from each other. (No. 1 cyl is the one on the left as you sit on the bike.)

Camshaft Sprocket markings 'I' and 'E' lined up with top of cylinder head.

A Haynes manual has it all in there. It might take a few attempts to get it lined up properly as it's a fiddly job.
