IGNITION TIMING CHECK
1. Remove:
9Fuel tank
Refer to “SEAT, FUEL TANK AND SIDE
COVERS” section in the CHAPTER 4.
9Spark plug
9Crankcase cover (left)
2. Attach:
9Dial gauge 1
9Spark plug hole dial stand 2
3. Rotate the magneto rotor 1until the
piston reaches top dead center (TDC).
When this happens, the needle on the dial
gauge will stop and reverse directions even
though the rotor is being turned in the same
direction.
4. Set the dial gauge to zero at TDC.
5. From TDC, rotate the rotor clockwise
until the dial gauge indicates that the
piston is at a specified distance from TDC.
6. Check:
9Ignition timing
Punch mark aon rotor should be aligned
with punch mark bon stator.
Not aligned Adjust.
Dial gauge:
YU-3097/90890-01252
Spark plug hole dial stand:

Adjustment steps:
9Loosen the screws (stator) 1.
9Align the punch mark on the rotor with
punch mark on the stator 2by moving the
stator.
9Tighten the screws (stator).

2. Install:
9Woodruff key 1
9Rotor 2
NOTE:
9Clean the tapered portions of the crankshaft
and rotor.
9When installing the woodruff key, make sure
that its flat surface ais in parallel with the
crankshaft center line b.
9When installing the rotor, align the keyway cof
the rotor with the woodruff key.
3. Install:
9Plain washer 1
9Nut (rotor) 2
Use the rotor holding tool 3.
4. Adjust:
9Ignition timing
Refer to “IGNITION TIMING CHECK” sec-
tion in the CHAPTER 3.
5. Tighten:
9Screw (stator) 1
6. Check:
9Ignition timing
Re-check the ignition timing.
