   So I need to put a timing light on the bike to check if it's advancing properly. I'm happy to get a mechanic to do this as I've not done a lot of electrical work but before I do are there any members who have done this before. And if so is it a difficult process? Could you explain?
   
   Thanks
   
   EDIT- Or how to use one? I ebay it and I get what looks like a demented hair dryer.

   the light is set off number 1 plug and at idle should shine on a mark on the flywheel. as the revs rise it should advance to a further mark.

   They're really easy to use, power comes from the battery and the ignition sensor as risky said goes to plug #1, usually it's a connection that goes between the spark plug cap and the plug.
   
   You start it up and pull the trigger to get the strobe to flash
   
   all too easy
