Hey guys,
I assume my timing is off, upon deceleration my bike backfires a little bit. I was going to set the timing according to the static timing method as described in the Clymer Manual and I had a couple of questions.
First off... The manual says that dynamic is preferred, but static is satisfactory. Is it worth doing or should I wait until I get my hands on a timing gun?
Secondly, there is a note saying that, "Either the No. 1 or 4 cylinder must be at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke." How do I know that either cylinder is at TDC?
Thanks,
Mark E
Static Timing
Re: Static Timing
While cam chain timing is set at the T1.4 mark, static ignition timing is set at the F1.4 mark.
To get an idea, please refer to the No ignition timing marks? thread.
Static timing is completely sufficient, never tried dynamic.
It may be worth to disassemble and lubricate the advancer before you start. Note that if it may be reassembled in two ways (180° off) so make sure the point of the pulser magnet comes back in correct direction again.

T would refer to Top-Dead-Center in which the 1 and 4 pistons are at TDC. At the F mark is for Fire. I'm not sure of S..
And thats about all the further my knowledge of timing goes!
