I was reading the ECMspy Tuning Guide (for the millionth time) and there is a procedure for checking the static timing, i.e., 5th gear, turn the rear wheel, look through the timing inspection hole, etc., but says nothing about what to do if its off. Is there a simple procedure to set/adjust the timing if it happens to be off? Thanks. |

If timing is off you have drill out the rivets on the cam cover and adjust the timing plate. Procedure on this is in the FSM. |

BUELLers: First of all you replace the POP-RIVETS with SCREW,self tapping PN 2662W !!! If you read your Factory Service Manual, the TIMING MARK goes in the center of the timing plug hole ... "IF" you have a OEM "STOCK ENGINE" you can set the timing mark JUST COMING INTO THE TIMING PLUG HOLE which will make it run better(either your electronic module or timing plate will have to a "LED" on it) ... If you have a MODIFIED ENGINE set the timing on a "DYNO" !!! (Message edited by buellistic on October 14, 2009) |
