Re: Desmo Valve Timing

I had another look at this and get the bevel dot positions (see attachment) in relation to one another when turning the crank ( crank anticlockwise - cams clockwise). All upper bevel dots moving in parallel. Just another clarification of what I have and I have to assume you are correct (unless anyon...

Re: Desmo Valve Timing

That's a great article for those who want the best power and smoothness from their engine. I just need mine to run when I crank it over, otherwise the bike is just an expensive ornament. I am pretty sure that the timing is corrrect but I would like to be 100% confident before I pull the carbs off ag...

Re: Desmo Valve Timing

Thanks again, Gardner.

Desmo Valve Timing

Can anyone clarify this for me, please? I am currently restoring a 900SS and can't get it to start. The engine was refurbished many years ago and I have recently rebuilt the bike. I don't know what the problem is (carburation, electrics or whatever) but I decided to make sure that the machanicals we...
