Was going to put some stripes on the tank too but it started to look a bit crowded so I left it black.

pic 3 shows 1st mark slightly out of position, its only slight and may not be an issue, also it may be down to a worn chain? I've always been taught to keep it simple when diagnosing problems. The cam chain sounds definitely rattly to me, so I would deal with that first. Measure the cam chain for wear tolerance limits, check the tensioner is actually tensioning properly. Once you have either sorted or found its working fine and the chain is fine, then you can go back to your timing. Also check the cams etc, have you tightened everything correctly and in the correct order, it might be something simple like that? If the problem is still there after all that, try moving one tooth? it will either look better and in the exact position as described or will look totally out? I've not messed with timing before, last time I did a valve clearence check was on my old Bandit and that was the screw type, so no removing cams etc. was necessary. I am only giving advice based on what I've learned on other engine jobs. Hopefully someone with greater experience will come along and be more helpful

Why do you think I re-sprayed mine Black

I know I'm getting on a bit but a can't see it? Is it me going blind or did the pic not appear think of us watercooled lot as that sexy young scrumpet, you can't touch it, but its ok to look

First pic seems to show the 1 and 2 are in the correct position to the cam chain. Maybe more information and pics are needed, like how much of the engine has been rebuilt, what was wrong in the first place etc. This might help diagnosis.

Yeah we can all huddle together here and discuss water cooling issues in hushed tones Come out of the closet and post up a few pics!

Is it a special model import perhaps?

As for your timing issue I can't help but the cam chain looks a little slack to me. How does it measure up for wear according to the manual's measurements ?

Thanks for the compliments, I'm no pro sprayer but experienced amateur would maybe cover it! I'm always up for advice if anyone offers though ...

It was a great handling bike through bends, just could'nt keep up with my mates on the straights!

Ha yes I did! But I actually prefer the auto correct, it made me laugh !

yeah I had one of those, I cafe'd it then sold it to finance my 750 ! Great fun bike though and like what you've done with yours. Is it the Variable Valve version, thought I saw the grey cam cover in the original pic?

My 1994 Gsxr750 WR, with its latest re spray, a Heron Suzuki tribute colourscheme.

Sweeeet!

lets see some more pics too, I wanna see more detail

The old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' seems to fit this situation!
