Timing marks
Dynatek S ignition. Centrifugal advance, NO voes ,so I wanted to see where my timing marks were at with the light,fresh oil change and installed a new clear plug for the hole. I can see the wheel really good but can't find any timing marks,keeping the idle approximately 1500 rpm per oem manual,turned iggy both directions little at a time and kept checking. No one here to move it while I watch for mark.
Regular timing light and connected to front plug wire,should be a dot for front advance mark per manual.
Appreciate any tips on the matter.....maybe rpm should be different because not using a voes advance ???

I've found that a little high visibility paint makes that single dot easier to see when the bike is running.
If your timing light is a dial back type then you can play with the dial on the light until you see the dot and that will tell you where you are.

Thanks but it's not a dial back,I'll have to check the dot again,I remember it being visible before as a dark dot,wheel is shiny clean,should be able to see it,when it's in view.

It's a PIA to try to see through the clear plug,
you can time it through your inspection cover,
you don't actually need the scale, just line up your TDC mark in the center of the timing plug hole, and then mark the rotor and primary, now turn to the full advance mark is centered in the hole, mark the rotor again to line up with the mark you made on the primary case.

Myself, I would just static time it per Dyna S instructions, then use the *** dyno to see what it likes.
Don't forget to make a reference mark on the timing plate to nosecone so you don't get lost.
