this should be an easy one for you experts. the bike runs terrible, so I'm trying to do the valves for the first time but I don't understand how to find TDC using the flywheel.
2001 TW btw.
I looked at the sticky thread for the XT225, but the TW has no such grooves so they're obviously a little different.
the manual I downloaded says to line up the " T " mark, but I don't see one of those either. I rotated it several times and the only marks I see are " |---| " and " | " are one of those TDC?
another thing I don't understand, it says to make sure it's on the compression stroke. how do you tell??
please try to explain it as simply as possible, i'm not retarded but I am very novice at this maintenance stuff so I need a very simple step by step explanation and I'll have it down! I understand the adjustment part so that shouldn't be a problem, I just need somebody to help me with TDC so I don't throw the adjustment off.
