Welcome aboard!
Are you looking for valve timing? Check out ZepRider's valve adjust video and you might be able to deduce from it where the crank and cam need to be in relation to eachother.

Welcome to the forum. Clymer and Honda make service manuals for our bikes. Your local library may have one and they also show up on ebay and elsewhere. Very handy when you are wrenching on the bike.
