I was unaware the timing was adjustable on that bike. How are you testing the timing and how far off does it seem to be?

im using i timing light, its about 3/16'' off the mark(advanced), i can move the breaker plate to get it closer but i run out of room.

Slot the mounting holes?

[rocksteveo]

you mean open up the slots a little so i can move it over more? will this affect anything else?

You sure of the year model? I have a 80 GS750E and the timing is preset with no adjustment.
