Don't you have a manual? Most manuals are available for free download somewhere.
Wondering why you need to loosen it.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

I need to do valve work to it. And l got to loosen the timing chain so l can get the cams out. I don't have a manual...if you know where l can get one (link wise for free) that'd be great.

You might also try the nitehawk site.   A little more geared to your bike.
18 grand and 18 miles dont make you a biker
