Just got a new DRZ400 and pulled the cams to adjust valves (first time actually in a motor). Why does everyone make it sound so difficult to put this back together? On my bike I just line up a timing marker on the crank, then set one cam to "3" and the other to "2" with the timing markers even with the head. Slip the chain back on and its done... maybe 5 mins max? I still haven't put mine back together since I'm waiting on shims but not sure what the problem would be. Seems really simple and as long as you don't half ass it and try running it without triple checking, rather hard to mess up. Do most engines not have timing markers? Couldn't you just set to TDC and etch your own? I'm just wondering why this is considered more difficult and if I'm going to run into issues, or is it really as easy as it seems. It is a super easy bike to work on so that may be a factor
