How do you know the timing is off if you don't know how to fix it? The only way to check it is to take the valve cover off.
FWIW: The only way for that to happen is for a cam to slip a tooth, or the cams to be installed incorrectly. If it is off by, say, two or more teeth, you will be bending valves.

some people can just hear. I can hear when my 69' chevelle's timing is off by 4 degrees or more. I would probably hear that in my bike after driving it awhile,but would not know how to adjust as i have not worked on it at all yet. This is easiest place to ask.

'93 GSX-R and a Chevelle are two different animals. My point being, very RARELY is timing off on a motorcycle. Serious damage usually occurs when it is.
Normally there are several other factors that make the motorcycle "sound" or act like the timing is off when it isn't.
