Timing marks on 1979 yamaha tt500

SOURCE: i need to set the cam timing on a 1979 yamaha sx

An old XS 1100,
ye now theres a classic good old bike(my long lost love was a Z1R II)
This bike is unusual in it runs clockwise(from left) with its cam chain tensioner at the front.The marks are on the cam sprockets. Plus the crank position needs to be top dead centre compression on number 1 cylinder.Crank position ID marks, lets see, If I remember correctly are behind the L/H engine cover.
As for your manual(a motorcycles&owners best friend) were available aftermarket.Clymer is one brand and Haynes the other.To locate one try your local accessory dealer, the net/web/e-bay or try the classifide section of you favourate bike magazine(usually at the back).
Hope this is of some help

Check out this site to find the exact model of your bike from the VIN here. You can get a wiring diagram for your model from the Biker.net website. There is usually a mess in the headlight tub, lots of dodgy previous owner "fixes". Sometimes it pays to strip it all out and work your way through it. Happy to give you advice on the electrics of this bike. I have plenty of experience:)
