if you have problem with valves the engine cylinder will have to be removed ,
you may be able to retime the clutch side valve by removing the kips rod bush

If the KIPS valves are installed properly and they are not worn they can't get out of time.

it may be possible that they go out off time if the kips rod holding screw you spoke about in your first post was missing , this over time would cause bush to wear in the barrel, the clutch side kips valve may then go out off time ,
worn teeth may also be reason
remove exhaust and check as i said above
stewart:
if the screw is missing then the kips system is not properly installed

as Steward said YES is the answer to the statement , but over time from 1hr 1day or 1year things go wrong so the statement does not mean alot
sorry stewart i though it was Icemank5 made the statement [ there profile pic looks similar]
Danger4u2:
My statement holds true, they only get out of time if there worn out.

A few weeks ago I blew out one of the fork seals on my AF bike. I've been saving for a re- valve and spring change for my weight and riding style. I removed the forks and shock and as I stood there looking at the bike I decided to remove the motor. I had talked to Stewart a few months back about "fresh'n'ing" the motor. So today was the day. Having Stewart give me the 101 on motor dismantle I feel I learned allot.
IcemanK5,
I would think if the KIPS valves are installed properly and they are not worn they can't get out of time. If I'm wrong you guys can chime in. I learned what I thought was an inspection port, I think your calling it a view port, is a cover for the 2 bolts of the KIPS valve. If we are talking about the same thing it's the plate with 2 bolts above the exhaust pipe hole.
