    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.

I am finishing up a rebuild on my 82 1100gl and am a bit confused. I am trying to locate the timing mark that is referenced in the service manual just before installing the camshafts.


It seems that the timing mark is directly to the rear of the engine, however, this bike had an electronic ignition but is now using a dyna s system with a mechanical advance. Looking at manuals for bikes with a mechanical ignitions indicates that there is a separate plate that shows the timing mark located at the top of the signal generator. Where is the timing mark exactly in this scenario? This is what I see:



Thank you in -advance.

You'll need the plate or use a degree wheel and make your own TDC.
I'd get a plate and make sure both sides of the Dyna lights up on F.
I may have one but not sure.
