Timing marks for cyls 2-3 was created by theboz
I have a 1989 KZ1000P running a Dyna-S ignition and Accel coils. I am trying to set the timing for cyls #2-3, but cannot see any timing mark.

I can see the timing mark for 1-4, but not for 2-3.
Has anyone has experience with these?

Ususally if 1-4 is on, then 2-3 is close enough. But, you can make your own marks. Just measure from the "T" mark and make the other side the same with an awl or paint etc..

I see in the photo (bottom) what looks like a T and a small mark. What would this represent ?

T is top dead center. F is fire at idle. The double mark is fire at full advance 3000 or 4000 RPM.

Based on the T mark, he can scratch in his own F mark for 2-3.

I know what the top marks are for. I am asking what the bottom marks represent.

Top marks are for 1-4. Bottom T mark is for 2-3. Since he has a T for 2-3, he can make his own F and advance marks for 2-3.
