I did the ignition timing on my 200M last weekend following the steps in the Clymer manual.
The main problem that I encountered was finding the little circular timing mark, I cant understand why Honda made it so inconspicuous. After I found the circle mark, my timing light had difficulty illuminating it due it's location.
I ended up putting a very minor mark on the outside of the rotor directly in line with the circle, the timing light was able to find this mark much easier. I have read numerous posts about the "T" and "F" marks on the rotor, but my motor did not seem to have these markings???

you dont need a timing light. The T and F are on the flywheel.....they can be a little hard to see at first, but they are there. you only use the T for setting the cam gear, and valves. and use the F for setting the rotor.

So the side cover has to be removed to view the T and F marks?
I could be wrong, but I think the Clymer manual tells you to set the timing with a timing light and the procedure does not require the removal of the side cover???
