Note to self...... check the timing you retard!

I was amazed to find out how far the as delivered Cam timing can be out from the recommeded settings when checked, so it doesn't suprise me the same can apply to the Ignition timing, may well be one of the issues with my 620, note that at Cadwell your bike Steve was one of the few that didn't pull a gap on me out of the slower corners.

Kev
I was amazed that the adjuster nuts are un touched and show no marks that
it's been adjusted.
Phil has a very good write up on his blog over on ducatisti all about cam timing etc and how to do it
My pulleys are unajustable but you can make offset woodruff keys according to Phil (Ghost)

I'm a little layed up at the mo after a op .........
But i will check the cam timing and let you know.
