I really enjoyed this video on valve timing. Must be 40 years since I used a degree wheel. I have noticed the right side cylinder runs hotter than the left on the 650. Next service I will get the guys to check the valve timing to make sure it is not advanced. Thanks for the insight, I have been wondering what it might be.

Superb explanation. So very detailed. Thanks to you guys

Excellent presentation. You convinced me once again that I will need an engine builder. Thanks.

Once again, thanks. You two are one of the best resources on KZfaq for this kind of stuff.

Excellent! Important for those guys or gals, who think installing a cam is a simple bolt on mod, when I put a cam in my street twin, I made my own crank pin and cam lock with no slop. It real easy to make a small adjustment error, lesson is to check and recheck.

Again, another great detailed episode... So glad you guys are doing these educational lessons..... Just makes me want to come up North & purchase one of your units ! (After you've modified it !) Please keep it going.....

absolutely love your stuff, one day when all this covid stuff is over I will get to Sydney for a visit , I lived there for 10 years , 1970 til 1980 , cheers Alister in Ballarat.

Understanding ! Knowing the difference.. I'll leave it in your Capable Hands

Another fab Revelry Enfield performance related vid. Very helpful and easy to understand as all your vids are. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to make these to show to us. Already looking forward to the next one. Happy New Year to you both from Cardiff, South Wales.

Thank you very much. Happy new year to you and all of you reading this!

Excellent presentation as always! You guys are very professional & you ought to open up a workshop in Melbourne 🥇💯💪💪 Keep up the passion & enthusiasm, you will be rewarded 🥇

Great tutorial my friends

Love your content, thanks for sharing Peace be with you

Yes, this is why some bikes are better than others straight off the assembly line and why 'blue printing' an engine, to use an old school term can reap big rewards, especially where every little bit counts.

loved this episode, please make more such videos!

As soon as I saw you had a new upload I had to watch straight away. Great work and always informative. 👍

I have ‘binge’ watched all your videos and I don’t even own a motorcycle. I know who I’m buying an RE from, when I can afford one. Love your videos. Hope to come up from Melbourne one day to visit, maybe to rent one first. Keep up the great work. Cheers

Wish you guys did some videos like this on the Himalayan. I own a 21 Himmy and recently fitted a fuelx lite and it has helped the bike run a tad smoother, but I get a rattle knocking sound under load around 4000rpm or so, and have wondered if my cam timing is off. This video is very informative and will be checking mine the next time I check my valves. Thank you!!

Excellent source! I wish you guys would set up a workshop or a camp in India for a week. Me and many riders like me would love to have you guys work your magic with big bore kits and cams on our bikes.

You guys are doing great job, keep the good times rolling. Hope we had technical people like you in India, most of the technicians and their superiors are dud here in terms of precision one needs to build quality engine or to run one properly with high performance, Third party and OEM service stations, boosting services are bad both in technical work and customer service here.

Another amazing video! I'd love you were located in Barcelona, Spain. thanks!!!

Nice video guys, happy new year looking forward to more of your videos 👍👍👍.

Very informative, guys, thanks very much...👍

Very very interesting. Thanks guys. 😎

Really interesting! You are both great teachers. Thank you

Greetings from Canada. Best RE channel ever!

Nice job ditactic vidéo , Nice 2021 year with more Video . Best wish From FRANCE !!

Excellent video, really informative. Thanks guys. 😊

This just made me really nervous. I was thinking of getting the S&S cam for my bike but now I dont know if I will be able to find someone locally who will get the job done right. I'm a machinist myself, and I am capable of getting measurements done the right way, but I dont have the experience with engines to know that I'm doing the right thing. I'd have to work very closely with a mechanic who would be willing to let me look over his shoulder and check every measurement with my own instruments. Can't imagine many mechanics would be that patient. Most would feel insulted I think.

Hi Will and Santina, you guys might be the perfect people to ask everything about this 650 engine on the internet. I assume that you know about the valve tappet controversy. People say rotate the crankshaft counter-clockwise and manual has directed otherwise. So what's the deal with that bolt and in which direction shall I rotate it? I'll blindly follow your advice😄... Thanks and Cheers 👍🏻

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. santina and wil, you guys rock ! i can just understand your aussie yank accent :-) keep up the great work, the community doesnt understand how lucky they are . cheers wolverine ps- ive been watching US flat tracking. i "believe" you yanks will kick our @rse

Conteúdo muito bom

Hi Guys, Have a look at Handcocks RE from Solihull England UK. They make a cam for their 846 big bore kit. I think you will be interested in their web site video on this.cheers.

I’m a bit confused. Is it possible to time the cam by just finding TDC with the piston stop tool and then lining up the L or R groove with the line on the engine as you would when adjusting valve clearance, or is the valve lift gauge essential ?

Hi, Just want to say thanks for your informative videos. Before I found you guys I was leaning towards the 1980ies Moto-Guzzi, but now… the 650GT is probably the bike for me! How about a video about RE tools you need for the engine work, and where can I get a complete servicemanual? Thanks again for helping me making my mind up. Best regards Ken Sweden

👍👍👍👌👌

Is it necessary to properly set valve clearance before doing the cam timing the way you have shown with cam timing dial

After installing the s and s camshaft im experiencing constant back fire from my left cylinder at constant throttle and im not able to figure out the probable cause.......is improper cam timing a factor?.....and if its the case why does it only happen on my left cylinder and that too only at constant throttle?

Nice work u guys, can you provide manual works in pdf to share? Thank you

Can you change firing to 180

Hi i love your videos really great and detailed Do you think its worth getting standard factory timing settings checked on a standard 650 set up for accuracy ? plus am i better checking valve clearances using the spark plug hole tdc tool rather than the lines on the end of the cam Cheers Mark

Wow sub Thai!

Request to clarify my below mentioned doubt regarding usage of valve spring spacers provided with the purchase of S&S performance camshaft. When my mechanic opened the engine top cover I noticed the stock valve springs are already compressed enough & it is coiled up, now if we add the additional valve spring spacers doesn't it further compress the valve springs and increase the load on the rocker arm?? Is it necessary to use these valve spring spacers??

Since no one outside of Australian do this correctly, can you put together a tool kit with correct instructions and possibly a Teams or Zooms call at 15 minute increments paid on PayPal? My dealer did this install and it doesn’t feel sluggish or hard to start, but the Dyno said 39HP. I have you headers, S&S cam, DNA air filter, S&S race only cans and power commander 5. The only way this gets done correctly is if I take my time, have the tools, and do it myself. I’d gladly pay for the all of tools and phone time. Hell, my dealer can’t even get that cam alignment tool, or that valve tapper torque wrench. What do you think. Otherwise I’m going for the Thruxton R/RS or Speed Twin.

Hey guys how is your cam timing wheel held on do you have some photos of this connection

I would love if you can do a video about running your new bike in. Is it better to run your bike in first then get new parts for it afterwards? Also do you have to ‘ run in’ any of the new mechanical parts that gets installed after the bike is ‘run in.? Hope you had a great break. Cheers

Love your video's just one question did you modify that degree wheel? I have that one but the hole is small and doesn't have the other two bolts. I'm about to put in a S&Sncam and High compressoin pistons as well but keeping the stock bore size. Ilike to do this right but notise your degree wheel looks modified to fit the 650 please advice on how to get the wheel to fit the 650. John K.

Hi ,can you tell me what adaptor you are using on the degree wheel? fits the interceptor perfectly..great video, about to embark on some changes myself, keep up the good work..

Did you guys make that 965 kit!?!

So guys question: what is your recommendation for cam timing for a street bike with low restriction K&N air filter, Tec 2:1 exhaust, 856 big bore, cam kit, clutch kit, and power commander. Probably will keep the stock throttle bodies-- you mentioned that you did one bike that way, also what kind of HP would you guesstimate. Appreciate any and all help (should I get the slick throttle bodies and /or the PowerTronic???). As I said looking for tractable B.A. street bike, not just drag bike, maybe even some touring. Just wish I could beam me and my Glitter and Dust (I call her KANTI, which I think is Hindi for shiny/flashy) over to Sidney so you guys could do your voodoo. Gratcie

Why not use a scatter cam and get best of both worlds......🥸

Are you guys mechanical engineers? Normal repair guys dont know as much as you guys.
