Timing chain needs to be inside the engine

If that wasn't the question that was intended, and you want to know the set position, all I can tell you is that the XVS 125 is 15 degrees BTDC, basically the same engine. According to the 125 manual it is non adjustable

Whats the problem?

Yes I'm asking how to time it. My mate stripped down the engine, and doesn't know the position of the chain in relation to the cogs to put it back together. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Thanks

Not done one of these but, generally there are marks on the cam sprockets also marks at the bottom to line up.
