INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRESS ON CAM SPROCKET ADAPTERS
KAWASAKI ZX9 1998-'00
BEFORE REMOVING STOCK SPROCKETS FROM THE CAMS...note that the
stock sprocket has the markings; IN and EX with lines. On the
intake cam, scribe a line or make a center punch mark in line
with the line under "IN". On the exhaust cam, mark
it in line with the line under "EX". Now carefully
remove the sprockets.
Install the APE sprockets
on the adapters so that the bolt is centered in the slot and
snug bolts. On the APE sprockets, the single dot represents the
line under IN. Position the adapter on the intake so that the
dot lines up with the mark you made on the cam. Remove sprocket
and install adapter.
Repeat for the exhaust
cam with the double dots representing the line under "EX".
Clean all oil from the
adapter and use Locktite. Press the adaptor on straight. If it
is not installed straight, the sprocket will wobble. INSTALL
SO THAT THE EDGE OF THE ADAPTER IS EVEN WITH THE END OF THE CAM.
DO NOT PRESS ON FURTHER OR CAM CHAIN MISALIGNMENT WILL OCCUR.
After cams are degreed
in, lock bolts to 17-19ft. lbs. of torque. OVER TIGHTENING
CAN DAMAGE ADAPTER OR BOLTS. Cam degreeing supplies are
available from APE. |
