Balancer shaft
Also had a look at the balancer shaft in my XBR500 manual. These photos may be useful.
The two gears will line up when you engage them with the crankshaft gear, but there are punch marks to align on each of the two balancer gears so they align with each other:
There are also springs between the two gears, if you separate them, they may pop out and disappear.... for ever.....
And more punchmarks when engaging the balancer gears with the crankshaft gear:
You probably guess from my previous post, I've no experience of looking inside these engines, am only taking info from the manual that I've never used. But have delved into many other Honda engines.
That's a nice situation, having the manual but never having had to use it over a reasonably long mileage.
Cheers.
