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.
