I had a jumpy tachometer needle which settled down after I replaced the crank position sensor. But of course I could only static time the bike. I used to have the clear timing plug but I could never see through it. After the fire I abandoned it. I'm not thinking about replacing it really, unless everybody else swears by it. How do other people here dynamic time their bike? Do you just go plugless and get a little oily mist on your goggles? I'm inclined to do this but wonder if there are other tricks people use. | ||

I actually used a clear one yesterday, I found closing the garage door to get low light helped. I used the sucker on a valve grinding stick to screw it in and out | ||

OIC, I am in a apartment garage structure now, but I could do it at night on the top floor where there are no lights. | ||

Put on your goggles and time it. Visibility of the timing mark isn't much different with or without the clear plug in my experience. (Message edited by 99cyclone on May 02, 2020) | ||

I used the clear plug, but I had a lot of trouble with glare at first. I finally started to pull the timing light off to the side at an angle and pull the light farther back and then I found the visibility pretty good and I could finally see the advance timing mark. I also had to grind down the outside diameter of the top of the plug about 1/32" against the garage floor before it would thread in. I also had trouble melting the wires of the timing light on the engine... right next to where I had done the same thing and had to repair it maybe 5 years ago. |
