neversaydie Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Can anyone tell me where my timing chain needs to be on my Yamaha xvs250 dragstar 2003, or where I could find the answer. I have already tried owners and service manual and no help there. thanks in advance. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_robbo Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Not sure what you ? is obv the chain is in the motor .Are you asking how to time it? 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.

Preload Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Not done one of these but, generally there are marks on the cam sprockets also marks at the bottom to line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
