Hi scoutdriver73, I used the timing mark on the gear that bolts on the CAM and the timing marks on the clutch primary gear and the one next to it and double checked with ye old long object in the spark hole. Seems to have worked very well. You just end up taking the right hand side cover off. Moved the engine with just the hands on the clutch or cam gear, but it's easier with the bike in 6th with the rear wheel.

I have to replace the cam chain on my '06, I notice that is not on your list but as far as I know they am the same engine. I will be putting the chain on without splitting it, assuming that chain is right for my '06, will it also be the right length?
Just ordered a cam chain from Husky Sport here in England, figured I would post a picture of what I got: Looks like they did move over to the SV. I searched the part number on eBay and they didn't have it in the right number of links, these chains are hard to get a hold of!
Turns out the chain pictured was 126 links long instead of 122. They sent me the 122 link one which turns out to be the weaker sdh Seems I just can't catch a break at all!
