:baffled:This is one of the more perplexing situations I have been in. A few days ago I changed the cam belts. I aligned the hash mark and the TDC marks as instructed in the repair manual. The bike was running fine after the belt change. This afternoon I went out to start it and it made a sharp clanging noise, once, and did not start. I made sure the clutch was pulled, the bike was in neutral, and I got nothing out of the start motor. It was drawing current and the headlight dimmed slightly as I pressed the button. Still, no movement from the engine. The charge on the battery was good so I tried to move the engine by hand cranking it. It felt like something inside was keeping it from moving. Could this be a "cam thing?" Help.
