Dont understand this fixation with strobes only used one once in 20 yrs in dealerships
Thats exactly the way Honda say to do it in the manual
Workshop manual says use a strobe - so I use a strobe. I don't on my Brit bikes, using the points position and a rod in the plug hole. That is fine for those numb old things, but the 400/4 can rev to 10 000 so a little more finesse required I feel.
Brian, how does the gap change given you simply rotate the back-plate about the spinning cam - are you simply referring to the ‘slop’ in the back plate mounting?
