Timing is established two ways: the relationship between the magnetic pickup and the flywheel, and the relationship between the crankshaft and camshaft. If you didn't disturb either relationship, you're good.

Anybody else have a comment?
I've never disassebled any motorcycle engine, so I'm unsure. :?

In theory, if the crank and camshaft have not been removed or even turned over with the head off, one would think the timing should still be the same.
