Answer
Hi Tim, I do not know much about the FZR250 motor I'm sorry.  I do know that the TDC mark is easily found by looking at #1 piston and making sure it is at the top of it's travel.  Then the cams on that cylinder should be in the center, as it will be on compression or on the rock between exhaust and inlet...  Easiest way to get it right though, is to buy a manual!  Good luck,  Jan
