How did you read that mark? I have the service manual which shows a drawing the doesn't look like what I'm seeing thru the hole. I just used a traditional method to find tdc.

I have a sideways "T" on my flywheel as opposed to the right side up "T" shown in the manual. I had to rotate the flywheel maybe three revolutions before I realized it. Maybe yours is like mine, maybe they all are and the manual is wrong? Really you have to be a contortionist with super vision to be able to see it!
Thanks. I'd adjusted mine at about 70 miles. Now have ~250 and will check and readjust. A note to those who aren't familiar with mechanical (vs hydraulic) valve adjustments: after initial break-in , valves change relatively little provided the valves and heads are made of quality materials. Personally, I'd consider adjusting the Pioneer's valves at 50 and 200ish miles and then see how much they're off at 400-500 miles and then decide the frequency needed.

how lingoes it take to do it? is it hard? what do u have to do maybe a quick summery and do I have to buy the service Manuel to do it. I have done valve adjustments on my street bikes before prob harder than this is having to re do the timing etc and put thicker and thinner shims in etc pain in the but

Mine has 4,050 miles on it and the valves have never been touched, nor has the clutch ever been adjusted.
