Timing Nightmare

[vvbluerider]

Has anyone messed up the timing on a 1700 Voyager ABS engine, 2011? I missed the very subtle statement in the service manual which requires the crankshaft to be turned 412 degrees after getting the front cylinder set. The manual really gives no obvious WARNING about only turning the crank 412 degrees to then adjust the rear cylinder timing marks. A bold warning in the manual is desperately required!

I screwed up because of this and missed the 'phase' part of the timing procedure. Sounds like a pretty common error due to very vague instructions in the service manual.

Trying to verify if this problem can be fixed without having to completely remove the engine. If the rear cylinder is aligned correctly. Can the engine be turned clockwise 308 degrees to then reset the front cylinder timing while keeping the engine in the bike?

Manual is very specific about turning the engine clockwise only. Is that because of tensioner issues? If you can turn the crankshaft counter clockwise then starting from the rear timing marks and going back 412 degrees should allow the front cylinder to be readjusted and prevent an entire engine removal procedure. Very confused on all this.

Dealer said they won't touch the bike as it is over 10 years old. Sounds like Kawi is following Harley's footsteps, leave everybody out in the cold or buy a new bike? Sad story.
