you could do that, but risk the whole too much or too little timing and the engine will ping, knock, or even worse, start to detonate. just take a night off, enjoy your cold ones and in the morning, put the timing light to it and fix it. make sure you check your plug wires too. the smallest things do the most damage.
Huh...Just got back from the beach myself....York Beach Maine...Twas a sweet nite...Seen alot of bikes tonite, mostly customs...
Anyway....try this for resetting your timing...first i would loosen the dizzy bolt, start it up, give the dizzy a twist and see if either direction helps the prob...if not you can do the below to set it up...Good luck...
BTW...I work for Pratt&Whitney...I make what you work on...I repair and build the HPC modules...
Pull #1 plug....using your finger over the plug hole, turn the motor til it pisses air...look at your balancer...it should be a zero , or close, tweak it to zero..grab the distr and place it in the block, you want the rotor around 12:00 as you slide it in the block.... when you drop it in the rotor will rotate to approx 1:00...place your cap on, and see if the rotor is directly over your #1 plug wire...if so, you should be good to go...if not, lift the distr up an inch or so, grab the rotor and turn it what ever direction needed to line up #1 on your cap....your trying to grab the next tooth on the cam by doing this...you get the idea....
Hope it helps...????

I would check your timing first, then get some chemtool and spray around the upper and lower and see if it stumbles. Also do the same around vaccum hoses (where they connect. And the throttle body and throttle body adapter. And check your connections electrical and vaccum hoses. Also check and make sure the fuel rail bolt is tight and see if there is a leak around the injectors. Check for MIL light also.
