Great video. I just got ahold of a first gen SV with a second gen engine and have no idea on miles. I probably need to check the valves.

I would say so yes I like to check everything when we get a new bike just in case, who knows how long it’s been standing with the same oil after all

WARNING FOR TIMING: The video doesn't specify the exact markings on the crankshaft you HAVE to be in for adjusting the timing and can be devastating. If you don't do it correct, you can fuck up your valves. I have summarized the service manual below on how to do it: 1.) Rotate crankshaft to "F" and check front cylinder camshaft sprockets. If the sprocket timing marks are in the right spot, you're done with the front and go to step 2. If the sprocket markings aren't in the correct spot, turn the crankshaft 360 degrees to "F" once again then check. If the timing marks are correct this time, you're good to go and go to step 2. If they aren't correct, then manually unbolt and adjust the sprockets to the correct spot WHILE KEEPING THE CRANKSHAFT AT "F". 2.) Reinstall the front chain tensioner in case the chain skips a tooth when adjusting the rear cylinder. Rear cylinder HAS to be timed at the "F" mark, not "R". Align the front cylinder timing marks in step 1 FIRST before checking the rear cylinder. Starting from "F" where the FRONT cylinder camshaft sprockets are aligned, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees until you hit F again. If the REAR cylinder sprockets timing marks are in the correct spot, then your timing is correct. If not, manually adjust it so that it's correct, WHILE KEEPING THE CRANKSHAFT AT "F" 3.) Reinstall the rear chain tensioner. Double check everything. The front cylinder is a full rotation of the crankshaft away from the rear cylinder. Rotate the crankshaft to "F". In general, either the front or rear cylinder timing marks will be aligned BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME. Then if you rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees to "F" again once more, then the other cylinder will be aligned instead. If this is true, then your timing for both cylinders is correct. Rotate the crankshaft fully several times to triple check if it rotates fine. If it's binding, then that means the timing is off. DO NOT CRANK WITH THE STARTER BUTTON, otherwise you will damage the engine if it's mistimed.

@@bikerdood1100 Yes, your timing guide is potentially devastating because you didn't specify the crankshaft has to be marked at "F" for both front and rear cylinders, 360 degrees apart.

@@masterkoster Yeah, the video author did not specify at all that you have to check both c rear and front on "F". Check timing on front with "F", then turn 360 degrees to "F" again and check the rear.
