Can someone take a couple pictures of this on the engine case, im trying to find where to line up the T on the flywheel and the damn manual has crappy close up pictures that give no context what so ever so i dont know what to line up with.

There's a casting line or a seam of sorts on the crankcase that you line that mark up with. It's located towards the front-of-the-bike side of the flywheel and is in a nearly horizontal orientation. Couldn't find any pictures that illustrate this, but hopefully my wording helps clear things up.

The casting line is on the left side of the timing wheel.
It's the same way in the Yamaha Manual. Not sure why they did that.
