    Timing question

    I have an 82 gs850L. I've ordered 2 valve gaskets to start on mapping and adjusting them. At the same time I was going to check the timing. This should be electronic. I don't see anything regarding doing this except when installing Dyna ingition. Is the procedure the same for setting the timing is using the stock ignition? Swapping out will have to wait for $$$.
    I've read and printed the instruction for valve adjustments... any other tips? Is it necessary to do any cam chain adjustment? Little afraid of that one.

    It's not necessary unless someone dicked with it.

    It is very easy to check, and fairly easy to fix if it is found to be wrong.

      Based on some of the things I'v run across who knows what I will find. I am only worried because I was told by the PO that a mechanic did the last valve adjustment and gasket but it leaks all the way around not bad but enough to be anoying.
