How to set timing on a 4 stroke

This video is to provide basic understanding of timing on 4 stroke motorcycle engine. This is extremely general and does not cover all steps to fully assemble an engine. All engines are different. This is made to give a basic understanding of how 4 stroke timing works. Therfore this helps new mechanics feel confident to dig in!
also T on the fly wheel actually stands for Top dead center but it is the timing mark, no worries.
Thanks!

[@elizabethtruman7164]

You have to make sure it's on compression aswell

[@revph7632]

[@ttmoto9754]

This is extreamly helpful

[@tomasareias877]

So if it doesn’t match can I just take of the flywheel and put it where it does line up?

[@brylelee4833]

The flywheel is keyed to the crankshaft. Adjust on the cam.

Isn’t the spark fires every other time in 4-stroke so it’s important to know which valve will open right before the firing tdc?
