There are no timing marks on this engine - the engine has to be "locked" using special engine locking / setting kit which you wil have to obtain to do the job.
I will give you the instructions to do the job for when you have the locking kit to do the job.. as follows:
Removal
Raise and support front of vehicle.
Remove:
RH front wheel.
RH inner wing panel.
Air filter assembly.
Support engine.
Remove:
RH engine mounting and bracket.
Timing belt upper cover,
AC receiver/drier (if fitted). DO NOT disconnect hoses.
Timing belt lower cover.
Auxiliary drive belt.
Support bracket between gearbox and cylinder block (Palio).
Palio: Remove bell housing cover plate. Fit flywheel locking tool. Tool No.1.867.029.000. or equivalent commercially available.
Remove:
Crankshaft pulley bolts
Crankshaft pulley
Spark plug leads.
Ignition coil and bracket.
Spark plugs.
Fit dial gauge and adapter to No.1 cylinder. Tool No.1.860.895.000.
Turn crankshaft to TDC on No.1 cylinder. Set dial gauge to zero.
Ensure notch in rear of camshaft aligned as shown.
Look at the normal rotation of the sprocket. If it is the drive sprocket and it turns clockwise then it left hand threaded; counter clockwise right hand threaded.
Put the bike in 4th or 5th gear, and place a board across the swing arm, through the spokes, so it lays across both sides of the arm as near the rim as possible. Then crank the sprocket off. It's a right hand thread, so turn it counter-clockwise to loosen.
There should be a bent washer over the nut to stop it from turning. Have a good look. Flatten the bent washer with a flat cold chisel, gently, as you need it again! Put the bike in top gear to hold the sprocket and use a spanner 27mm to undo the nut. It is a clockwise thread. When you put a sprocket back on, don't forget the bent washer and a drop of Loctite Threadlock will help to hold it on.
hi, dont know what bike you are working on, however all modern suzuki use a normal rh thread for tightening. put the bike in gear press down on the rear brake and undo in the normal direction anti clockwise, check there are no locking tabs bent over the outside of the sprocket,
No they are not left hand thead,normal r/h thread. make sure chain is still on bike and front sproket and then try good rattle gun. if this does not work,put bike in gear and hold on rear brake and use long breaker bar, if still no good will need to heat front sproket nut with oxy set very carefully and rattle off with rattle gun while nut is hot
hi,if it is anything like a 1200,they are normal thread..ie left to undo and right to tighten,they will probably be very tight as honda locktite them in,they also have a woodruff key in them to locate the sprocket onto the camshaft,dont lose the key,they are a honda specific part and altough they are small they are quite expensive...cheers
are you trying to replace the sprockets? you can't get the nut off because it spins? just put the bike in gear and remove the front gear first, leave the chain on until after the nut is loose. also "make sure you flatten out the nut lock first".
