I was sitting in class the other day thinking about my +4 degree key, and I think that I put it in backwards. Does anybody remember which way the key offset is supposed to face. Assuming the key is parallel to the ground, which way does the offset face, is it towards the front of the bike or towards the rear. Once again guys, your help is always apprecieated.

Look around the flywheel for the arrow showing the direction of the rotation. Put the offset side of the key towards the direction of rotation.

Thanks for the pick Meat. I had already checked out the picture on your site when I was starting to second guess myself, and that was the picture that did it for me. However, since the crank in that picture was not in the case, I was not sure that the key was sitting the right way. But now that I think about it, that would not matter anyway; the key will always be in the same orientation with respect to the crank regardless of wether or not the crank is in or outside of the engine. I believe that I did a little too much thinking on my part, maybe I should just get my ass out to the garage and actually fix the damn thing. Thanks again for all of your help guys,
