Install your Rear CAM with the timing point aimed at the Centre mark TIMING THE V-Star 1100 Hints and Tips: After you detach the sprocket from the CAM SHAFT you need to keep it tight to reduce risk of kinking the chain.
How to check the cam gear on a crankshaft?
Remove the cam gear and the crankshaft harmonic balancer and inspect the tone rings for proper alignment and make sure they’re not loose or damaged or that they haven’t sheared the key that aligns them. If they are properly installed, replace the sensor. If the signal appears normal, then check the timing chain/belt for proper alignment.
How do you replace the clutch on a V-Star 1100?
Use a piece of coat hanger. Use one of the bolt holes from the crankcase cover to secure it. You can see in the picture this pointer is on the rear cylinder “l T” timing mark. Use one of the shorter bolts and some washers if necessary to secure it. Line the pointer you just made up on the ‘T’ mark.
What causes a cam sensor to go bad on a crankshaft?

How to set the timing on a V Star 1100?
TIMING THE V-Star 1100 If you have rotated the Crank and moved the TDC then you’ve only got one choice to guarantee accuracy… Remove the Clutch Side Cover and rotate the crankshaft, making sure the Cam Chains remain tight so you don’t kink them…and keep rotating until the front cylinder Crankshaft sprocket alignment dots match up.
When to set the cams on a crankshaft?
I would suggest at this point in time that you start with the crankshaft at 30° before top dead center and set the cams. At this point, there will be plenty of clearance for valve in every cylinder. When the cams are in position, then rotate the crankshaft to TDC and install the belt.
What should I do if my crankshaft doesn’t line up?
Once you have the new belt on, rotate the crankshaft twice by hand (with a wrench, of course) and re-check that the timing marks on the camshafts line up properly when the crankshaft is back to TDC. (Remember, twice around). If the tension is still good, go ahead and button it up.
How can I rotate my crankshaft without spark plugs?
You can remove the spark plugs, that will make rotating the crankshaft pretty easy. Alight the timing mark to TDC. Now when you align the camshafts according to the manual, that will then define the TDC of #1 cylinder as the TDC of the compression stroke.
How do you check the front cylinder timing?
To now check if the Front is also in time, you simply rotate the engine another 270 degrees, or 3/4 of a rotation, and the front cylinder timing |mark should now show in the cutout window and the cam sprocket pointer should be aligned.
When is the rear cylinder timing at TDC?
The following is extract from page 60 of the Clymer manual on Rear Cylinder timing. “The rear cylinder is at TDC on the Compression Stroke when the T-mark on the flywheel aligns with the cutout in the alternator cover and when the timing mark on the Rear Cam Sprocket aligns with the pointer on the rear cylinder.
