This is the ultimate guide on setting your ignition timing on the Honda CB350F / CB400F / CB500k / CB550 / CB750 family of bikes. Part of owning one of these families of bikes is knowing the proper tuneup procedure to perform when changing the oil, adjusting the chain, and setting your valves every 1,500 miles (2400 km). All of these must be performed every time to have your motorcycle running at peak performance and when done properly you will find that these bikes turn over on the first kick and scream to the red line. We consider learning how to set the points gap, static timing, and dynamic timing what we call the "weedout" skill. Take your time and rewatch this guide to learn how to set your timing, if you don't you will have a tough time getting your bike to run reliably. Alongside ignition timing, every 1,500 miles (2,400 km) you also need to change the oil in your 4cylinder Honda, set the cam chain tension, and also set your valves(tappets).
