Step by Step instructions for
Installing a Camshaft in your motorcycle
Page 5

Carefully replace the gearcase cover. Replace the gearcase cover bolts in the proper holes and tighten to the designated torque. If you had removed a torque arm, now would be the proper time to re-install it.
If the stock pushrods are used:

Place the pushrod tube assemblies onto the lifter blocks. The tubes can be pushed into place in the O-rings.

Set the lower rocker boxes in place, but do not bolt it in.

OEM Pushrod Color Codes

Front Exhaust is Green

Front Intake is Yellow

Rear Intake is Blue

Rear Exhaust is Purple

Drop the pushrods into place, through the head and pushrod tubes, onto the lifters. The pushrods are color coded and must be installed in the proper order.

Finish installing the rocker boxes.

Complete the installation of the pushrod tubes.

If adjustable pushrods are used:

Make the pushrods as short as possible.

Place the pushrod tube assemblies into the upper O-rings. Holding the lower pushrod tube up, place the pushrod up through the tube and position the adjustable end over the lifter.

Tighten the lifter enough to prevent the pushrod from falling out of place. Use a tie wrap or clothes pin on the pushrod to hold the pushrod tube above the adjuster.

After installing all pushrods, perform final adjustments on the pushrods per the manufacturer's instructions.

Complete the installation of the pushrod tubes.


Install the timing cup on the end of the camshaft and carefully tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten.

Replace the timing sensor plate. Remember to align your scribed mark on the timing sensor plate with the mark in the nosecone cover. Tighten the timing sensor plate in place.

Now would be the time to rotate the engine several times by hand. Raise the rear wheel off the ground. With the transmission in 5th gear, turn the rear wheel to rotate the engine. There will be some resistance as the lifters open and close the valves, but the engine should rotate completely. If the engine will not rotate 360 degrees, the alignment between the cam and pinion gears may not be correct.

Replace the timing cover plate.
