CAUTION:
Advancing the ignition timing will cause the engine to run hotter, in-turn causing
power loss, shortened clutch life, and possibly lead to premature stator failure,
and can also cause detonation which can lead to premature piston and ring
failure.
Tools recommended for timing service:
•
Compact motorcycle dial indicator
•
Universal clutch puller- a universal puller that pulls the clutch, main drive gear
and rotor.
TIMING YOUR IGNITION:
1. Remove the spark plug cap, and sparkplug.
2. Insert the dial indicator into the spark plug hole.
3. Remove the four bolts from the ignition cover.
4. Remove the water pump belt from the rotor and water pump shaft.
5. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise until it reaches top dead center.
6. Set the dial indicator to zero
7. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the dial indicator reaches 0.045” (1.14mm)
from top dead center.
8. Line up the lines on the stator and the rotor (figure 26). Otherwise loosen the
three 5mm bolts to adjust the stator.
ROTOR INSTALLATION:
1. Use wicking / bearing retainer (green) thread locker on the inside of the rotor,
and on tapered part of crankshaft.
