Thanks mate.

All makes sense, so i can fix the flywheel on in any position and it'll be okay?

Thanks mate, so when those dots are aligned its in top dead centre!? I've already rebuilt the gear box so know that part is okay .

(Ive not got the top end on at the minute)

Thanks Calum, I'm a bit rubbish with the accurate stuff. Is top dead centre when the crank is extended to the full? Or just off?

I've fitted the stator plate (rebuilding the engine) and didn't mark it... as far as I'm aware it can only really go in one position anyway? When putting the flywheel onto the plate, is there a position the crank needs to be in? Ie should the woodruff key be pointing in a particular direction? Worried about getting the timing wrong, as i rebuilt the engine last month and on kicking it over blew the seals when i turned the kill switch off (anyone any ideas on that to?).

Cheers.

@DTR-NSR thanks! checking for a spark will be next on the cards! If theres no spark does anyone know the most likely causes? Or is that a stupid question? Guess theres plenty of reasons for not getting a spark?

@Calum I'll look into it once this bloody bike runs! Cheers mate

@Calum So a 97 dtr can be fitted with a servo? Bit confused mate haha

@DTR-NSR ok, definitely possible and sounds like it could be the case! I'll have a look
