dial guage question

[Deleted]

its been brought to my attention that i need to get one so i can do the timing on the bike, ive done a little homework and will be able to figure it out,ive done a bit of searching and this one looks good.

,a couple of questions, can this or similar be gotten somewhere else a bit cheaper or is this about right? and 2ndly ,will this fit in the spark hole with the motor in the frame? bloody better, thanks again,ken

Hi Ken, it looks like the hex bits are adapters with various threads on the end. Contact the seller and ask if one is M14X1.25. The price is not too bad, mine was about £100 odd back in the 80's, but its a superb piece of kit, and I didn't have to pay for it .
The job is easily done with the engine in the frame but the front bottom screw on the stator plate is a cow to get the spanner on and the spanner fouls on the genny windings if your not careful . HTH.

Using the DTI is easy, if you need any help just ask matey.

All I did was remove the guts from an old spark plug,drill and tap the side for a bolt to clamp the dti,job done.
Found a metric dti on the bay for under a tenner.

HTH cheers,Andy..
