While I agree with that in principle... it'd be much easier to just move the marks to a point farthest away from the crank center. And mind what Gary said above... full advance is much more critical than the initial "F" mark. You really should include that.

This is a solid idea Jim. Never thought it would have been less precise with the way I did it/ TC bro's tells you how to do it. Makes a lot of sense.
after all the questions I have asked and read over all of ya'll info I still have to ask a question. Mounting the rotor on to the crankshaft only goes on one way with the key. Making the marks is to see where you are in your timing. So if the bike was out of timing how do I make the adjustment? I had my valve covers off on intake and exhaust to watch valves move. Rotation of the crank allowed me to see the intake valve move down and back up to a stop. Next to see the exhaust valve do the same. Then the piston came back up and was up at TDC. Made my marks.
