    timing is everything

    Well, I finished the Yosh tribute build last month. We were rushed at the end and when we arrived at Barber everything that could go wrong did. Everything is peachy now, but it probably won't see the track until September.

    The timing is a bit of an enigma. I have the Dyna electronic ignition turned all the way clockwise and the "T" timing mark (idle) is still a tad advanced. I don't get that. How could it be maxed right and still not quite on?

    The bike runs and sounds awesome. Bored to 1025, 10.5:1 pistons, stage three carbs, racing baffle, ported, V-stacks, total loss ignition, Racetech front end, Ikon shocks, aluminum swing, Salty Monk upgraded brakes (probably not legal and look too modern, so I'm looking for an alternative), scalloped left cover and Yoshimura frame bracing. Airtech seat/tail and belly pan arrive Tuesday. The sound of this thing is something else.

    Many thanks, guys!

      Very nice.
      The Dyna on our racebike had to have the backplate fully advanced on the slots to achieve standard timing.....production tolerances ?

        Oh those little gremlins…

        It's always the last 1% that seems impossible.
        Nice!
        But I would put some kind of disc on those cam shaft ends, they just look unfinished like that.

          Nice, but it looks like it's running really lean
