This site has the Factory Service manuals in PDF format available free of charge.  Go to the "front door" of this site, and look for a posting near the top that says Manuals.

There isn't much you can do to set the timing  on the DOHC models.  Timing chain is easily done, and explained well in the FSM.

Welcome to the forum.  That bike looks like fun.

Welcome to the forum. Love your bike! Flat Black is one of my favorite colors, for a bike. What is your rear wheel off of?
