That depends on what kind of timing you are wondering about...

In a basic ignition there are two types of engine timing, static and dynamic. Static timing is the timing your engine runs at idle and low rpm. Dynamic timing is the variable (thus called dynamic) timing your engine runs on from low to full rpm.

The static timing should always be set first, it depends on what ignition your motorcycle has...points? magnetic pickup? crank fired? there are several types

The dynamic timing refers to the timing advance the distributor modulates through engine rpm. Setting this requires a timing light and timing marks on the harmonic balancer and engine block (usually stamped into the parts themselves from the factory).

To help you out further I need to know what kind of ignition you have...a service manual will tell you what kind you have, and even how to adjust it.

Best of luck!

How do you set valve timing on 1981 450 Suzuki motorcycle?

To set valve timing on a 1981 Suzuki GS450 motorcycle, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the first cylinder. Remove the valve covers and check the alignment of the timing marks on the camshaft and the crankshaft. Adjust the camshaft position as necessary by loosening the camshaft sprocket bolts, then rotate the camshaft to align the marks before tightening the bolts securely. Finally, check the valve clearances and adjust them as needed for proper operation.
