setting the timing

bird said 2008-04-25 22:13

i replaced the points on my tx500. now im trying to time it, i have a manual by clymer that covers a bunch of bikes. it says to manually turn the crank shaft by placing an allen wrench in the open end. well...is it the end opposite the points, on the left side of the engine? i had the cover off when i replaced the clutch plates but cant remeber seeing anywhere to insert an allen wrench. any help?
