Honda NTV650 Revere Part 4 - Checking the Valve Timing

If the cam chains are really really loose it is possible that the cam chain has jumped a few teeth on one of the sprockets. We have established that the cam chains are not as tight as they should be on our bike but nowhere loose enough to jump teeth. Probably. This is how you check to make sure that the valve timing is still correct. This video shows how to check the valve timing HOWEVER it should NOT be used to set the valve timing as it simply checks the camshafts position in relation to the crankshaft and does not take into account the relationship between the two cylinders.
