Hey, thanks a lot for the vid. I've got the identical machine, accept its from 1979. I was riding it and the cam chain was so loose that the top can sprocket skipped a link and the intake valves actually hit the piston and lost compression. I've been wanting to fix it for a while, your video makes me a lot more confident!
Fantastic video! Thank you! Well spoken, great camera work to show exactly what you're talking about, and easy to follow. Can't wait to try on this for my '79!
Trying to find instructions on lining up the counterbalance shaft with flywheel as in what marks to line up with the balance shaft etc. cant find anywhere???

Even today this video is helping people. Just put a chain on mine today!

Very handy video. Same engine as my cb250rs I think so this is just what I need.
Should you replace both the cam chain and the tensioner? I have a replacement chain but the tensioner seems hard to find.
