IGNITION TIMING CHECK
1. Remove:
9Fuel tank
Refer to “SEAT, FUEL TANK AND SIDE
COVERS” section in the CHAPTER 4.
9Spark plug
9Crankcase cover (left)
2. Attach:
9Dial gauge 1
9Spark plug hole dial stand 2
3. Rotate the magneto rotor 1until the piston
reaches top dead center (TDC). When this
happens, the needle on the dial gauge will
stop and reverse directions even though the
rotor is being turned in the same direction.
4. Set the dial gauge to zero at TDC.
5. From TDC, rotate the rotor clockwise until
the dial gauge indicates that the piston is at
a specified distance from TDC.
6. Check:
9Ignition timing
Punch mark aon rotor should be aligned
with punch mark bon stator.
Not aligned Adjust.
