How to set the timing on a Yamaha banshee?

You start off by setting the piston to TDC (top dead center). there is a "T" on the magneto to assist with that. once the motor is at TDC you take the exhaust valve(front one) , there are 3 numbers with arrows. take the #1 arrow and point it toward the front of the motor at the gasket surface and the #2 arrow will be pointing strait up at a roll pin of the cam chain from that roll pin, counting it as #1 count out 15 pins. on the intake valve there are also 3 numbers and arrows. on the 15th pin set the #3 arrow of the intake valve. Now the timing is set put it back together using all torque specs. the bolts are very easy to strip.
