• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2020 Can-Am Spyder RT Timing chain synchronization - anyone have a pic of the cam/crank alignment marks?

2020 Can-Am Spyder RT LT. I’m installing a new timing chain, and I can't remember how the camshaft and crankshaft marks align. I also can't figure out which of the three cylinders is at TDC. Could someone please share an image showing the mark alignment? Any help would be appreciated.
 
From the manual on my 2024. I hope this helps (Note: it says TDC on number 1).

Thanks for the diagrams; they helped me understand the camshaft timing marks, but I’m still not clear on the location of cylinder number one - whether it’s on the right side (where the clutch is) or the left side (near the timing chain)? As I understand it, the number one piston should be at its highest point. Please clarify this for me. Regarding the TDC locking plug for the crankshaft, I don't see any other one besides the large oil drain plug.
 
Looking at the third photo I provided they state No1 is on the clutch side of the engine. I did find a better picture for the knock sensor which is also near that hole to lock the crank. Also a picture of the locking pin inserted. Curious on how many miles you have an why you were changing the timing chain?
