kiwisuzuki1100nz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 1987 GSXR 1100H ok Been following manual but damn it covers camchain and camshafts but not where the crankshaft should be relative to them. I haven't removed the signal generator so how do I ensure that the crankshaft position relative to the camshafts is correct? Edited January 30, 2020 by kiwisuzuki1100nz Quote Link to comment
kiwisuzuki1100nz Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Do I set piston 1 to TDC. Piston 1 being the left most piston when sittin on the bike? Quote Link to comment
kiwisuzuki1100nz Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Sorry I know im gonna kick my own arse once I get the answer Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 All the info is there on the picture! Position crank so T mark is just before pick up as shown, then fit ex. camshaft so #1 mark aligns with cover machined surface then count 21/22 pins back on cam chain and fit IN. cam with #3 mark at that pin - all done! Start kicking yourself now! 1 Quote Link to comment

Start kicking yourself now! ok so as long as I didn't dick with the signal generator position I should be fine? Happy to kick my own arse I am kinda pedantic and like to understand the relationship between TDC and cam position. Wasted spark ignition I get 1 and 4 fire but how do I get the timing between crank piston and cam accurate? Edited January 30, 2020 by kiwisuzuki1100nz Quote Link to comment

The timing wheel is 'keyed' to the crankshaft so its virtually impossible although i'm sure some muppet somewhere has managed it! If you have the suzuki workshop manual it usually has a diagram indicating the camshaft timings related to TDC - just know that for a stock bike the advice / positions noted are correct and will work. Adjustable sprockets will be required to move cam timing and unless you know what you are doing - DON'T . . . . . . . pistons partying with valves always gets messy! 3 Quote Link to comment
