EVO non-adjustable timing plate???
I am no noob when it comes to motors and bikes, but this one has me a little stumped. This bike is fairly new (to me anyway). It's a 97 Electra Glide Police Edition. I was pulling the nose cone off to swap cams and going through the process of marking the timing for the re-assembly process. I noticed that the timing plate did indeed have the adjustment channels to change timing, but the two screw in pillars were place in two round holes coincident with the adjustment channels. Aka from where the plate was set, it could not be adjusted. Is this a factory set timing or is something not right here? I need to do more research into the correct timing adjustment process and I plan on setting the timing soon. Is the timing set in the "correct" place and not adjustable so I don't have to mess with it? Some input would be great. I know I need to get a manual so don't tell me that...I know! Without the manual, some advice would be great. Thanks in advance!
PS: I plan on installing an aftermarket ignition module eventually but for now finances say no dice

I just said screw it and took the time to set the static timing right. It was clearly as advanced as it would go and that wasn't right. I set it back to the recommended static timing

Doesnt the bike have EFI? If so wouldn't the timing be set electronically?
Maybe someone else could chime in who knows how these late model EVOs are configured
From what I can tell this may be used for crank position only, telling the ecm when #1 cylinder is at top dead center.
Just an educated guess.
