|  Motorcycle guys,I need some help.
I got a kawasaki 454 yesterday,it is out of time,cams look good,so does the timing chain.I was wondering where the ignition timing is or if you have a pdf or ipl that would be great as the wiring is a mess.Btw its an 86.

Let's see if l can remember how l timed my bike? This a static time/no timeing light. First step/ is check the points gap for correct gap and tollerance/for my bike they could be maximin of 4 thou differance/you usually work out what your bike likes and went with that. Second step/ Whip out No 1 spark plug and bring up the front clylinder TDC Third step/ Take out timing inspection plug and align it dead centre of the inspection hole. Step four/ Losen off you point backing plate/still firm but you can lightly tap it for adjustment Step five/ Advance you advance and retard unit until a cigarette paper could be pulled between the points with noticable drag. Step six/ lock off points backing plate/recheck cigy paper in points for correct drag/this tricky sometimes. Step seven/ Replace spark plug/timing cover plate/ and timimg inspection plug. Start bike and enjoy.  Ofcouse this applies to a Harley
