[QUOTE="FJR98008, post: 757604, member: 20696"] Well, today I decided to change my CCT due to a rattling noise by the cam chain area. My 03' FJR has about 25,xxx miles, has always started right up and smooth riding, synthetic oil change regularly, as a local firefighter, I've takened it on service runs to OR and CA to assist in forest fires, never any problems; BUT, today after I removed and installed the new CCT, the bike cranks but won't turn over. No fault codes in the diagnostic readout. Changed the spark plugs just in case, but to no avail. Just cranks, like it's trying to start with all normal dash readouts. The only funny/scary thing was that after I had changed the plugs and tried to start it, it backfired and then the engine went right back to trying to start. If the cam chain jumped a tooth etc. thus causing the engine to just crank but not start- 1. are my valves now bent or 2. can I remove the valve cover and cam cover (first I need to learn how to do this), set everthing to TDC, install a new chain and am good to go.. or 3. bite the bullet and pay the pro's. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you, Duke [/QUOTE]
