right crankcase half, properly aligning timing marks of
cam gears and pinion gear.
NOTE
●
The XB9R uses new style timing marks on the front
intake cam assembly. Please note the “V” design.
●
Because of the larger diameter additional gear (which
meshes with the pinion gear) on the outboard end of the
cam, the front exhaust cam gear and the rear intake cam
gear must be installed before the front intake cam gear is
installed.
4. See Figure 3-126. Install a new seal and new dry gear-
cover gasket on crankcase.
