Question -
Could you give me directions or a picture of timing marks on the timing gears for a 2001 Harley Sportster, 1200cc engine?
Answer -
You talking abouot the mark on the flywheel or the marks on the cams?
Mike
The cams.
I do not have the option to send pics on here. When you install the gear to the pinion gear it will lign up my the marks on the pinion gear and cam gear. Lign the marks on each gear with the mark on the one beside it.
Your best bet is to get a service manual and it will show a pic of the how the gears lign up.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
