Does anyone know what the new timing mark on the crank is for the GS500F's?  I've got an '06 and everywhere I've been able to find info on in has listed/shown the old style w/ 2 pick ups.  Including the local Suzuki dealers.  For anyone who is confused, the newer bikes have a single pick up, but keep the LTll and RTll marks.  Thanx in advance guys.

After reading what I originally posted I guess I can see how it was confusing/unclear so I'll elaborate.  I don't want to adjust the timing.  I don't want to change the timing.  I don't care about the plate.  I am not trying to do any mods.  I don't care about advancing anything, or retarding anything.  I just want to know what the new timing marks are.  New bike with new parts = new timing marks.  On the older style, with two pick ups, RTll lined up with the left p/u and LTll lined up with the right p/u.  This is what everything found online shows.  Whenever I enter a search for cam chain, timing marks, set timing, etc, I get the old style setup.  A guy at beergarage.com or something like that has a great photo blog for setting the timing and even lists it as for like '89-'08 GS's.  Unfortunately its obvious hes never been inside a newer bike because with only one p/u and still two marks, his instructions don't work.  So once again, what are the new timing marks for the GS500F with the single p/u rotor?  Do the cam notches still face each other parallel to the valve cover seal face?  Still #1 to the front on the EX cam w/ #2 pointing up?  And is it still 18 pins between #2 and the #3 point on the IN cam?  And after all that, where is the new lower end/crank shaft timing mark?  If you don't know what those number are in regards to, or the pins, or if that all seems like gibberish, then you probably don't have the answer to my question.  But no worries.  Someone, somewhere has rebuilt a GS500F engine... I know it...
