Do you set both the left and right sensors on their respective compression strokes or do you set both sensors on the left cylinder compression stroke only?
i had this same question but it has to do with the phaseing of the cam and crank. this is a 90 twin not a true 180 twin, meaning ,when the piston/ cylinder fires and moves down, the right piston moving up is also on its compression stroke, about to fire, unlike a true twin, which would have the rights exhaust stroke, immediately after the left piston fires downward
@@californiamonster8877 3 types of 4 stroke inline twin engine architectures. 360 degree crank, 180 degree crank and a 270 degree crank. Honda CB350, CB360 & CB450 are the 180 degree. Points are cam vs crank driven which changes the position of the points firing to be 90 degrees between strokes, then 270 crank degrrees of exhaust & compression before the next power pulse....bang, bang...chug, chug...
I get the left sensor timed perfectly (distance to cam, blue light goes off exactly at the LF mark), but the right sensor is so far off that I can't get it timed. I need to slide the right sensor to the right more, but it's already maxed out to the right. To get the right sensor timed, I'd have to move the sensor plate so far to the left that it would throw off the timing of the left sensor. How do I remedy this?
@@billstrube3425 I had some trouble with the advance slipping off of the little “key” while timing the bike. You’ve really gotta crank it down for it to want to stay. Also, the surface on said advance can be pretty dirty and it picks up on the sensor. I took mine straight to a wire wheel.
Do you have a video of the led light installation?
Once the timing is set, would the eventual cam chain tension maintenance cause the bike to fall out of time?
not enough to matter, but check it during winter maintenance if it makes you feel better
Is the index mark on the camshaft with the silver mark , do you need to line up with the sensor ?
So do you have to stay on the compression stroke or not ? Cause you rotated the engine a lot so I’m just a bit confused
Do you set both the left and right sensors on their respective compression strokes or do you set both sensors on the left cylinder compression stroke only?
Each cylinder is timed on their own compression stroke.

@@Common-motor Are these static timed or is there a retard advance?
fantastic this is extremely helpful.

You ever sort this out? I have the same problem.
My shockwave isn’t sending out blue or green light. Any help ?
Reach out to our tech support calls on our website tinyvids, we can definitely troubleshoot and help you there.
Set the fire mark at the flywheel and adjust the sensor plate to time. Then the ignition timing guessing game becomes unnecessary.
I did this, no luck. Good spark, no fire. Pushed the bike back into the corner. Maybe next year.
