I used a long screwdriver with a handle bigger than the sparkplug hole. To keep it from scoring the piston, I dipped it in some plastikote the night before.
Then, I rotated the crank with a socket and watched the screwdriver rise and fall, each time taking note of the timing marks on the crank. One more spin and Viola! TDC.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

I have some wooden dowel rods I scrounged. If I feel the urge, I use wood. I woulkd think a straw would be long enough to not fall in.
Remember to inspect closely around the plug for dirt & crud before pulling it. I found a stack of junk on mine once.Sand & road grit & grime had accumulated there. A flashlight & a few seconds is all it takes to avoid crap in the cylinder. I ride on an oil over sand road, near the house, maybe thats where it copmes from, I know I need to check, maybe you dont.
