Yeah Shaka. Just follow the instructions form the other post slinger high lighted. I tossed the map I made when I moved, but remember it started at 15 before, went to 18-19 around 4000, and fell back to 13 to the top. It is real easy to mark it out on the case. I used a sharpee. The tough bit was holding the throttle steady to get it right. I wound up pulling a zip tie between the throttle, and the fairing to hold it steady for me. Mark your case, and flywheel ANYWHERE for tdc , the numbers will come out the same no matter where you start from. Just be sure you have clear space to see going up to 25 or so degrees backwards.

I'm still laughing about the squirrel!!! :D

So do you use the T mark on the flywheel and just mark where the T is on the crankcase when the light flashes at any given rpm?  That makes a little more sense.

That doesn't make complete sense to me yet.  I'll have to keep reading it.  I thought a timing light just flashed at every spark?  How do you calculate the timing advance from that?  Mark the flywheel?  How would you do that while it's spinning? ???  My dad is in town for the week, I'll be checking with him tomorrow!  On a funny note, I got him out riding my scoot today!  He came back with a big grin on his face!  He ran over a squirrel!!!! :D
  your first marks will be w/ the engine at tdc. 1 on the fly wheel, and 1 on the case. start the engine, mark the CASE where the fly wheel mark flashes. (should be about 15 degrees backwards of the first case mark) spin it up 100 rpms, and mark again. at one point it will begin to fall back toward the initial marks (6-7'000). once all the marks are there, just match a degree wheel w/ 0 at tdc, and transfer the marks to degrees, and note the rpms for each mark. Instant (sort of instant) timing map

We crossed posts. The T mark doesn't matter. I did my own marks.

Yeah zombie, that is the number I rang, but like you said I may need to dial zero first. Will try that tomorrow, If they are open on Saturday. I was kind of indisposed today, went for a joy ride again. Cops out breathalising again, decided to drug test the bearded biker, hahaha, waste of time, hahaha. :)

Yeah, if they want a bit extra money they go full boar and havea blitz, stop all traffic and test the drivers. Yesterday they breath tested the 4 drivers in front of me, but pulled me aside for a drug test. I was on the bike.

They do road block "seat belt checks" here, really just to see if your drunk or not.  Never heard of a roadside drug test!  How do they do that, make you pee in a cup?
