So you guys are saying to turn the crankshaft nut to turn the flywheel, correct? I have read you can do either do that method or put your bike in the highest gear, elevate the rear wheel and turn in normal travel direction - both accomplish the same thing: the valves open and close, the pistons go i...

George - I have my bike in 4th gear and rotating the rear wheel rotates the flywheel. I was under the impression this accomplishes finding TDC through the sight hole as the rear wheel is slowly spinned. On the cylinder successfully installed, I hear air coming up through the spark hole plug. Rockers...

I get what you're saying. I went very slow to make sure. I thought the same too, so I did it several times checking each time. That's why I am puzzled. I just have the feeling it something I am overlooking in error and not a mechanical issue.

The pushrods seem to settle in properly. They hang out approx. one inch from their holes on each side.

Thanks...

Hey newbie, I am pretty new to this forum myself. I had some electrical problems with my /5. I would do as suggested - disconnect everything and reconnect with the diagrams available. Since mine had brittle wires, I just took everyone's advice and installed a brand new harness. It took some time, bu...

Makes total sense. It totally felt out of sorts. Didn't think about the tubed vs tubeless thing since it was printed (as you can tell, this is my first older bike). Will try with the higher pressure of 32/34. Thanks...
