Working on a 2016 FZ-07 for a friend. Did a valve adjustment as per a online factory shop manual. Measured clearances at TDC compression stroke at mark on alt rotor for #1 cylinder. Ex cam lobes pointing to front and just above plane of head. Intake cam lobes pointing toward rear and slightly below plane of head. Found all exhaust valves 4 to 5 thou which is about half of what’s called for which is roughly .009 to .011”. Intakes were all within spec. So adjusted and went to retime cams and when I referred to the manual it showed the intake cam lined up with the hash mark -I pointing to rear of the bike. If I put the cam in like that the intake lobes for #1 will be pointed to the front as in before the intake stroke. To add to my confusion when I checked on the MT-07/FZ-07 owners group a member had posted a how to do the valve adjust and referred to setting to TDC for #1 cylinder on the clutch side. That would be #2 cylinder unless he meant clutch lever. And his pics showed the ex cam lobes pointing at the intake cam lobes. Anyone done this and can tell me where the cams should be positioned regarding lobe position on #1 cylinder. There’s more but I want to see if someone has done this and what they experienced. Help please!
