    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 cam timing

I believe I've posted about this before regarding cam chain pin count. My arrows line up where there supposed to, but the diagram on 3-68 of the factory manual shows the pins line up on a different link.

My cam chain on the exhaust cam starts one link pin to the right of the diagram, but ends on the proper 20th link pin on the intake cam.

The Haynes manual for the 1100 actually has an incorrect diagram from 1 page to another, regarding pin orientation, so I'm wondering if the factory manual does too. The journal notches face inwards and the exhaust cam arrow is flush with the head surface. The cam lobes face outward over # 4. The reason for cam removal was to change valve guide seals on a 105,000 mile motor. Cam chain doesn't appear bunched under crank sprocket, any thoughts, observations appreciated.

i don't really understand your original description...
i have worked on high mileage bikes and when i set the cams in on there marks things didn't look "normal".
set in the exh. on it's mark at TDC and then do the int. with the correct pin count between the upright marks.
that should do it.
this is with stock cam sprockets...not slotted.
