I just read an article on points settings.After this procedure is done it tells me to now proceed to STATIC TIMING. Anybody know what this is, I don't? KZ650B1.
Static timing is when you take a 12v test light and monitor the voltage coming into the points for the spark trigger. You can use an ohm meter to do the same thing, but you don't supply voltage in this case. You bridge the ground and supply feed of the set of points you are working with, and rotate the engine clockwise (always clockwise) with the 17mm nut on the end of the crankshaft, until the "f" mark lines up on the advancer with the pointer, as seen through the hole on the points plate in the upper left on the points plate. When the light comes on, with the 12v method, or the state changes from 0 to 1 with an ohm-meter, the "f" mark should be aligned with the pointer. You can set each point plate individually.
If the bike is running right now, I would suggest only doing one side, then starting the bike to make sure you got the one side you just worked on operational. If you make a mistake, it's easier to fix only the problem on the side that you just made a mess out of.
