There is a small Dot stamped into the magneto next to one of the alignment marks. Does
anyone know what the Dot is for.

I was told that the Magneto must be installed with the Left Cylinder on a compression stroke.
and the line with the Dot must be on the TOP.

The SERVICE Manual does not mention this Dot. only that the flywheel must be on the
S mark and the line on the magneto at the top.
thanks

Go to Craig Vechoirik's website (Vech Tech), which you can also link to from the Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners Club. E-mail me if you need the URLs.
Vech addresses the issue of timing the magneto at his site. Good luck with it!
