Ok...so I'm thinking whilst the motor is out and headless I will replace the camchains...when I bought the bike I got 2 new, in packet Yamaha ones.
I'm thinkin I could leave the motor upside down (on engine stand).
Pop out rivet, add new chain forming one double length chain, flip motor over and feed it round, off crank sprocket. Then remove section of old, rivet back together.
Voila', One new chain fitted without having to rotate crank.
Repeat for other chain.
Or is it easier to do the 'double length' chain bit, flip it right way up and rotate motor to feed chain through :ummm:
