Now's the time to start to verify things. Have you tried to bring the frond piston to TDC on compression stroke to see if you are on the right mark?
Yes, the bike is currently on the stand with the vertical, long hash on the flywheel visible and dead center of the view hole.
I read about also looking in through the spark plug hole to see if the piston was at the top and at this point I can only say "I think it is... " not being expert I am not sure.
I would assume that if I am not correct with this that there is something truly amiss in that with all I have read the piston should be topped out (we are talking about the front, number one piston here) at the same time the vertical timing mark is visible and that is what I think I have achieved. Is there a better way to verify this?
