    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Thanks

The mark by the T is TDC.

The F mark is where the ignition is supposed to fire, several degrees before TDC.
 
Sorry for asking again but i want to make sure i understand:
for timing the cams does the trigger should be aligned to TDC ( | T) or to fire (| F)

OK you FINALLY used the word "cam" to differentiate it from "ignition" timing. :clap: :clap:

For CAM timing, you use the T mark, as that is Top Dead Center.

For IGNITION timing, you use the F mark for Fire.

Plain enough? :-k

:oops: Now it's plain, i should have said that from the start.
so back to the bike to re-time and re adjust valves.

Thank you for recognizing that and admitting it.

Yes, we are pretty good and, quite frankly, really know our bikes, but there are some times that we just need a clue. :-\\\

Can i get one, as sometimes i dont have a clue. One time i asked a Saleman at a Suzuki shop what was the black coating on the new GSXR forks. He said it was powder coating. My fault for asking a salesman. Its Titanium nitrate i found out later.
