No. 1 Cylinder TDC mark

[RedBaron]

I'm back on the Baron and setting TDC. I have it on the vertical line mark to the left of the "T" rather than lined up with the "T". The question is, is the TDC mark the vertical line or the "T" itself?

Thanks

I like to check where TDC really is myself and make my own mark. You will be surpised how many engines are not spot on.

Thanks. :)

I'll take that as a "yes" it is the line left of the T. That would agree with an earlier post I found on the subject. I also did read up on the feel the piston move up to the top of the cylinder, I suppose with a small screwdriver through the spark plug hole. I think I'll use that approach with my next bike, and go with the marks laid down there by the Yamaha Twin Cylinder Gods.
