I am still getting to know my R80 that I bought last year. Observing that the exhaust pipes were bluing from heat, I decided to check the timing. According to the Clymer manual I have, the bike should have an S mark and an F mark. Turning things over slowly, I found a -Z mark and a _S mark with a 01 above it. According to the manual, neither is correct for 86 and there is no mention of the S and 01 mark. Lots about S and F or S and Z, but no mention of an 01 above the S.
I set the timing to the _S mark and the -Z lines up when I advance the throttle. Bike runs fine, but I am curious.
Do I have some sort of oddity, or is the manual incomplete or incorrect?
Can more experienced folk lend some light here?
Thanks
