i was wondering how hard it is to install one of the adjustable timing plates. and what timing to set it on? i hear +4 is the best. also will 93 octane be good enough? thanks guys

Yea 93 will be good for +4. I ran 91 on +4 and 155 psi compression.

Octane requirements depend on more variables than just your timing. What else is done to the motor? Also, you will need a flywheel puller tool, Rocky mountain sells them for @ $15. It is easier to remove if you have access to an impact gun.

The puller and the impact are for removing the flywheel, the timing plate is behind it. You can sometimes get the flywheel off without an impact, but the puller is a must!!! DO NOT TRY A JAW PULLER ON IT!!! Your local bike shop may be able to hook you up getting the flywheel off, no special tools are needed to put it back together. You should be safe with 4 deg. with stock heads on 93 octane.
