any ideas of how i get these valves opening where theyre supposed to as ive took the head off reconnected this chain and the bike wont start

if the cam chain has fallen off which it shouldnt and if it has then the tensioner is knackered ,then at least one of the valves will be bent already so you need to take the head off and check the state of the valves before you even attempt to refit the chain.there are timing marks on the magneto and one on the side of the cam sprocket theat lines upwith a pointer on the head.

you may have bent valves if you have tried starting it with this in the incorrect place
