Ignore the T mark for purposes of ignition timing.

so i take it that i should set my timing light at 0' and at idle make sure the f mark and the line in the case match up.
Yes, presuming the timing light is adjusted to flash when the plug fires.

Take pictures/notes as to how it's assembled as it can be 180 out if put back together wrong.

In the DYNA installation procedure, after the plate is installed and wired correctly, you first do a static alignment with a (+12Vdc light to ground) light probe.
Then you adjust the individual pickups that are on the plate by loosening the screws for each pickup.
In Dynamic, you loosen the plate screws themselves and rotate the plate for timing light alignments and test for 1/4 & 2/3 timing.
Here's a write I up I put together when doing mine... Located in the KZR file base...

Safe to assume that the OEM procedure would be to align the pickups them,selves then... Your manual should be able to provide some insight on how to accomplish....
Is your timing off per specifications then?

My bike came with electronic ignition and does not have the slots to make adjustments. I will ream out the holes to make slots if I need it then I guess, thanks!
If the oem ignition timing isn't adjustable, do the timing marks fail to align when viewed under a strobe type timing light?
