Do you have a video of the led light installation?

Is the index mark on the camshaft with the silver mark , do you need to line up with the sensor ?

So do you have to stay on the compression stroke or not ? Cause you rotated the engine a lot so I’m just a bit confused

Once the timing is set, would the eventual cam chain tension maintenance cause the bike to fall out of time?

not enough to matter, but check it during winter maintenance if it makes you feel better

I get the left sensor timed perfectly (distance to cam, blue light goes off exactly at the LF mark), but the right sensor is so far off that I can't get it timed. I need to slide the right sensor to the right more, but it's already maxed out to the right. To get the right sensor timed, I'd have to move the sensor plate so far to the left that it would throw off the timing of the left sensor. How do I remedy this?

You ever sort this out? I have the same problem.

Do you set both the left and right sensors on their respective compression strokes or do you set both sensors on the left cylinder compression stroke only?

@Common-motor 4 жыл бұрын

Each cylinder is timed on their own compression stroke.

i had this same question but it has to do with the phaseing of the cam and crank. this is a 90 twin not a true 180 twin, meaning ,when the piston/ cylinder fires and moves down, the right piston moving up is also on its compression stroke, about to fire, unlike a true twin, which would have the rights exhaust stroke, immediately after the left piston fires downward

@@californiamonster8877 3 types of 4 stroke inline twin engine architectures. 360 degree crank, 180 degree crank and a 270 degree crank. Honda CB350, CB360 & CB450 are the 180 degree. Points are cam vs crank driven which changes the position of the points firing to be 90 degrees between strokes, then 270 crank degrrees of exhaust & compression before the next power pulse....bang, bang...chug, chug...
