How do you know if you ignition timing is set right?

Hi,

So on a car you have a timing mark tab with numbers for your ignition timing and a line on the harmonic balancer.

On a bike (87 KX250) you have 3 lines in the stator plate, and a notch on the case, but no marks on the flywheel.

If you installed a stator without any marks, how would you set your timing?

If you use a timing light, what marks do you look at to see if your timing is set correctly?

I'm trying to see if my timing is set correctly.

Dinky,

There should be a mark on the flywheel... Unsure about your year model though.
