    I was trying to check my timing on my xb9...so
    lift the rear wheel
    put in the 5 gear
    connect ECMspy (diagnostic)
    it appear to be the 5 red so I turn the wheel until it come to zero but it never happen???
    the same if I look in the inspection hole its like nothing is moving when I turn the wheel so never see the mark neither...
    What I am doing wrong, help??

    Note : yes the bike have the gear engage

    I will add an other question that will maybe solve this issue..
    did I need to rotate the wheel a lot like more than 1 turn or just a little, like almost nothing??

    ^I think shoes99 is dead on :) lol

    When you pull out the inspection plug and turn the rear wheel you should be able to see the (I think it's the flywheel in there) moving. The wheel is pretty difficult to turn, I actually had to have someone else turn it while I watched the hole, since I couldn't turn it with one hand. Are you sure the bike is communicating with ecmspy? I know many times when I switch tabs it disconnects and I have to reconnect.

    I think the timing mark on the flywheel should pass the inspection hole like once every 2 rotations, or maybe 4 rotations, something like that.

    Where the spark plugs in or out? If you pull the plugs it will be easier to turn. I was too lazy to pull them though so it was hard to turn.

    buellxb experts at it's best.
    are you really that stupid, or are you just pretending, cause you are getting paid for it?

    I'm not stupid. I'm referring to rotations of the rear wheel, not engine. I could figure it out by figuring out the gear ratio but I don't want to think about it too hard. Why don't you help and stop calling others stupid when you are the one who doesn't understand what I've typed.

    And what the hell do you think I get paid for on the forum? Or are you just that stupid that you think I get paid to be on here?
