Strobe
bobv7:
Bulb holder with a couple of crocodile clips works fine. Still got the one I made years ago.
Bryanj:
Thats exactly the way Honda say to do it in the manual
Oggers:
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.

I have the ubiquitous Honda 350/400 shop manual (see cover image); As Oggers says, in it the timing instructions only describe using a strobe - no mention of the simple test light.
However, my owner's manual only describes the simple test llght (see attached page)...

So to get back to the original question “recommendations for a good strobe†not “do i need to use one†lol..... I am also in the market for a strobe... i was considering a gunsons as they were always popular..... any suggestions??
