Ooohh... You're seriously screwed now. No way to fix it, you can drop it off at my house after 7pm tonight. At TDC, the arrows on the cam gears should be level with the head and pointing forward (though being a 250, I'm not sure what it's got up there). You should really get the service manual for it. Z

If your son insists on disassembling four-stroke motors without using a manual, the least you should do is turn the motor over really slow by hand, after you put it back together, to make sure Mrs. Valve doesn't hit Mr. Piston. Probably the marks on the sprockets point forward, lever with the edge of the head, when the engine is at TDC. Which should be "TDC" or "T" on the rotor. The marks sometimes line up a half tooth off or so when the chain goes on. I'm guessing of course. -- Devon Brooklyn, NY A15-Z '01 KLR650 '81 SR500 cafe racer "The truth's not too popular these days....." Arnold Schwarzenneger, in The Running Man

I wanted to repaint the frame of my KLX650. There is a little bit of rust. I would like to repaint my frame in black. Does anyone recommend a certain brand of paint to use? Thanks
