I am putting cams back in my Bandit 1200 motor. My question is do I line the chain up with cylinder 1 at TDC? The service manual says to line up the stock ignition advancer, but I don't have it any longer because i'm using a Dyna ignition.

GS engines are timed based on #1 @ TDC. I assume the Bandit is same but haven't personally verified.Ed
To measure is to know.

The ignition advancer at zero degrees is TDC to the accuracy oh the advancer. That should be good enough to get within a tooth of the chain.Comment

Yes the Bandit motor is similar to the GS.Originally posted by Nessism View Post
Yoshi,
And you should get a Manuel they don't cost to much. You need to make sure your doing it correctly or you can hurt things. If you need a pic of the relevant pages then pm me with your ph # and I will text them to you.My stable

What kind of cams are you putting in? The stock B1200 cams are puny and the otherwise-stock motor really wakes up with 1986-1990 GSXR1100 cams.Comment

I have two manuals, they don't say that cylinder 1 needs to be at TDC, just that the ignition timing advancer needs to line up. Anyway, I set the timing, adjusted the tensioner and rotated the motor, broke all the valves and pistons and then the bike melted into my garage floor. Just kidding, everything is working now. Thanks!Comment
