Don't want to take issue with the service sheets Beezageeza, and I've been easy on the vin rouge today, but in fact the lower cam lobe - 4 o'clock-ish looking at the cb from the drive side - should normally operate the rear pick-up (gearbox side) on any K2F. So to fire the rh cyl from the rear pick-up, yup, get the timing side on compression and the points just opening on the lower lobe of the camring. Remembering the cb turns clockwise as you look at it face-on, so you get it on the opening ramp going the right way, not the closing one going the wrong way (which has been done a few times!). And, with a manual AR, to have the camring fully advanced (which will be with 'slack cable' if the cable enters the mag on the front (left, or engine) side looking at it from the left of the bike. It should.
You can see whether a cylinder is on compression or not, because towards tdc on the other (ie exhaust) stroke, the valves are visibly open through the plug 'ole. So your left hand cyl's valves should be visibly open while playing this little game.
Not a big problem, you can time it equally well on either cylinder, and swapping the leads from one plug to t'other will solve any problem (after the little backfire that may possibly occur from kicking it over the other way!)
Cheers, Bill
