You need to pay attention to the cam lobe orientation. Each cam can only be installed two ways but if you use the cam lobes as a guide, you can only install the cam one way (the correct way). Does this make any sense?

If you follow the manual and pop them in like they are shown here ...the new sprockets once bolted on should align them correctly...
Your new sprockets do have the marks on them ??
You do know which was the inlet and exhaust cam?? I hope... lol
Hope that explanation is is clear enough

Great pics. One more thing to add. The No.1 cylinder is the first one from the left. Left when you are sitting on the bike or put it simply, the clutch lever side of the engine.
