450R HRC install

[jeepeater347]

I've put cams in quad motors before but this unicam sound like it could be tricky, just wondering how the install went for you guys who did it

Make sure you have the cam chain tensioner lifter tool, or have a friend hold the lifter tension with a screwdriver while you line up the cam chain in the guide and the tensioner itself.

What manual did you get those instructions from, and did it have pictures;) The one dealer I talked to told me that the cam installation was very very tricky and should only be done by them :huh.

Sounds like they want to make some money off of you. It isn't hard at all. I usually just take the cam chain tensioner off all together so I don't have to try to hold it.

Its fromthe factory service manual. It has pics, but I don;t have a scanner, sorry! Its super easy, don't be scared. The dealer jsut wants your dough.

I've done the cam on My Yamaha Warrior, which sucked becasue it had a bearing on it tha needed to be pressed off, and I had to install new springs in the head...which sucked too, because I needed to make a special tool, just to do it, all in all it wasn't too hard. Chances are, I will wait for Curtis Sparks to release his cam, I rather only spend the money once. Did the factory service manual come with the bike...i didn't get mine yet, so i don't know myself
Thanks

For the cam chain tensioner, I took a small screwdriver and released the tension and held it in place with visegrips worked great!

Thats a good idea for the tensioner.
No you have to buy the manual, its $35
