    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ignition Timing

Sorry for the trouble, but I have looked and can't find out how to adjust the timing on my gs650e. I removed the plate for cleaning, and I didn't pay attention to the "details". (typical rookie move)

The plate that the pickups are on has elongated holes apparently for adjusting. However, the manual says that the timing is pre-set. I talked to a mechanic at a shop and he said that the alignment mark has to align with the screw. Huh? I checked to see if I can find the mark that the screw made, and found nothing.

I know that this has probably been discused before, but I can't seem to find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Underneith the top center screw is a timing mark that lines up with one on the plate.
Make sure the crank trigger is pointing towards the left while the 1&4 timing marks are visible at the top.
 
i think you'll find that the "pre-set" position is when the plate fastening bolts are in the middle of the elongated holes
anyhow, you can't really go wrong as there is only room for a few degrees adjustment
if everything else is good on the bike you may want to play with that plate and adjust it to your riding style
