timing advance

[Dodsy]

has anybody fitted the  4 degree timing advance and does it make any difference thanks

If you spend most of the time on the bike under 6000rpm then an advancer would probably be worthwhile, it should make the bike easier to start and give it more tractability at lower revs. I have one fitted and wouldn't go back, I like the extra pull at low revs with a pillion and the ability to comfortably stay in 6th through 30mph zones, but others have tried one and preferred the OEM timing.

that would suit my riding style more

Hi Dodsy.


Personally I'd steer clear of advance rotors.
I tried a 4 degree advance rotor, turned my tuned 1000 into a feckin jerko-matic below 3,000rpm, it was un ride-able in traffic without slipping the clutch.
Might work ok on a stock bike.
Defo a pointless mod on a tuned bike imho.


OEM rotor went straight back & all was smooth again from idle up to max rpm.
