I know this is a sportbike forum, but I need some guidance trying to get my timing set right on a 00 YZ125. Ive been a member of stuntlife.com for a couple of months, and I know there is alot of people on this board that will probably know. I think Im getting a little bit of pre-detonation(knocking). Do I need to align the TDC point with one of my point contacts on my flywheel, or should I back off the contact a mm or 2 at TDC. Yamashop wont tell me and I cant seem to find a reference on the net. I am unsure, and do not have an oem manual. Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks

the closer your clearance is teh more advance you get.

 

you need to retard your ignition, turn your stator counter clockwise just a bit. this post is old...now sure how much it will help you now.
