toasts the cdi?? (nklr)

How far did you turn it the wrong way, and did you have the valve cover and camchain tensioner installed when you did it? It is unlikely that you damaged anything, though it's bad for the camchain tensioner mechanism, and for the starter motor and starter geartrain. Devon dtovb wrote:

I think they're worried that you'll apply enough torque to back off the magneto bolt. Unlikely, unless you really hammer on it. If turning the engine backwards is truly harmful, then my engine should have been dead a long time ago. I can think of many occasions where I flipped the kill switch on a steep uphill and the bike chugged backwards downhill in first gear for a couple of revs. RM

You most certainly ruined the engine by doing that. Derailment of timing chain, stripped gears, piston ring damage, bent valves, leaky fork seals, bent handlebars etc etc. I'll give you $500 bucks for it sight unseen. Steve

Sound pretty scare. After I did this engine works just fine. What I have to do? continue ride or start to repair engine ?

I did it when camshaft and tensioner was installed. I made 2-3 turns. Now all works just fine. I think it should be some special noise before engine will broken.

Turning the engine the wrong way can make the camchain jump teeth sometimes. With the tensioner installed it makes it extremely unlikely. If it starts and runs fine, there you go. Devon dtovb wrote:
