Timing question/issue

Hi guys,

I've got a timing question......I pulled the clutch basket on my 2008 FE550E because of an kickstart issue.
Obviously the piston was almost at top dead center when I pulled the basket, so when the gears lost touch the timing chain sprocket turned backwards.

So, to get the right timing again, do I have just to line up the dots on the two sprockets and put in the the basket again, or do I have to turn the sprockets with the dots in a certain pattern???

Thanks for the help!
 
turn the crank so that the dot is in direct alignment from the center of the crank nut to the center of the balancer (upper) shaft then rotate the upper shaft so the two dots straddle the one on the crank and slide on the clutch.
