Author Message   Xl1200r Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 06:21 pm:        I just noticed this is required every 5,000 miles or anytime you remove the cam sensor, according to my FSM. My S3 has a little over 20,000 miles on it and I don't think it's ever been done as the timing cover was still riveted. I'm in the middle of a top end rebuild, so a difference won't be too clear, but how big of a deal is this? Do you think the bike will run better after I set it?   1313 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 07:14 pm:        The static timing is more critical for fuel injected tubers than their carb equipped brethern. Since your S3 is a 2002 (and therefore fuel injected), I'd say do it! 1313   Buellistic Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 11:08 pm:        IMHO, timing is critical period !!! If you do not know that your timing is 100% correct then you should check it !!! IT IS THE FIRST THING YOU CHECK BEFORE DOING ANY TUNING !!!

I check mine regularly and it has never moved, yet. 2000 X1 with 20K on the odo.
