Does the clutch still operate ok ? Does the gear lever still move up and down with the usual springyness.or is it stiff .

obviously some people dont read the questions before they answer but my first question would be why are you wanting to replace the cam chain but that aside heres a reasonable tip for most of japenese overhead cam fourstrokes.......if you do in fact have a " master link" then remove your valve cover and magneto cover and get your timing marks lined up.Take a picture or make some marks with a sharpie or whatever you need to have a reference point for timing marks. Take 2 pieces of flexible coated wire like some heavy guage speaker wire and cut off prob 5 feet or so twice. Take one piece and loop it around the last roller in front of your link your removing and do the same to the other side. with those two tied off loosely to your frame from above remove your link. So the front side should be suspending the front half of the chain to the frame above and the rear side of the separated chain should be suspended by the other wire. Now join your new chain to the old chain hanging off the front side with your master link. remove all tension from your cam chain tensioner then your ready to do some threading. Lay your new chain off the front of the motor hanging down somewhere it wont be collecting debris. this is where you need an assistant. Have your friend hold the new chain up and off to the front and keep sufficient pressure so slack wont fall inside the motor and jam up then take the back side wire and start slowly with your right hand lifting the backside of the old chain out as your turning your magneto counterclockwise with your left hand. Make sure you and your friend keep sufficient pressure on the chain ends to keep the chain contacting the bottom sprocket. So the rear chain holder is actually pulling the old chain out and turning the whole rotating assembly with the magneto in a delicate dance till the new chain is up out of the rear casing and the friends chain is ready to get sucked into the front end. If its a dual overhead motor then drape the front slack over the front cam sprocket and have friend hold their hand ontop while the rear segment holder removes the old chain then drapes the end of the new chain over the rear sprocket then replace masterlink which should be acheivable if your cam chain tensioner was allthe way out Now reapply chain tension with tensioner and re verify all timing marks. any adjustments can be made right there between cams to line up everything. Buy your friend a 6 pack of suds and and go for a nice ride tomorrow after you and your friend have slept off the celebration 6 packs from last night. good luck

Is your oil filter a cartridge type,(not screw-on) it maybe installed backwards. Does it leave a spot on the floor... that oil goes somewhere. Maybe it dealership time?

Yes, LED turn signal lights require a flasher rated for LED's. They are available in auto parts stores. As far as the now start goes, double check all wiring, making sure all the positives and all the negatives are correct. Check the ground wire from the battery. Make sure the connections are tight.

constant fault or intermittant?

TRY CLEANING CARBURATORS

On the transmission near the shift liver there is a switch. You may want to replace that switch with a new one. That is the neutral switch.Good luck.

if this just started after a ring change, definitly its the rings. the oil rings would be at fault. were they the right size?, for example , regular size rings used in an overbored cylinder.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Check / replace the diode that connects the clutch switch and neutral switch. The diode normally would have green/red and light green/red wires.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

Replace the neutral switch, it's worn out...

Hi,
It does sound like an overfill of oil. Typically, when there is too much oil, it will get pushed out through the crankcase breather into the airbox. To check your oil level, stand the bike upright and check the oil level window. If it above the high mark, you have too much.
Hope this helps
