4 degree ignition advancer

[mickvp]

Aye, I shoved one in about 2 weeks before I went to the Ivanising. Noticed an immediate difference with it in, not quicker, just a bit sharper and smoother. I like it better in, but as you say, it's a cheap mod that you can undo if it doesn't suit you

I've just seen this thread and I'm just wondering if this 4 deg advance will affect starting.  I've found that my carb fazer is a 'fussy' starter and always seems to take 2/3 goes to fire properly and careful adjustment of the choke.  Does this mod help?  I've done the checks on plugs & carbs, the air cleaner is fine too so I was wondering if the smoothness that's been talked about reflects in better starting too?

Not 100% sure if it is the fact that my bike has a 2 deg advancer on it (unbeknown to me until a week or so ago) but my bike starts first prod WITHOUT choke or throttle, even on a cold day like this morning.  If I DO use choke it takes a little while to fire up, 2 or 3 seconds on the button before it fires and if I let go of the start button it will die more often than not unless I give it a neighbour endearing "fistful".


So, I no longer use the choke....

Post 36 earlier in the thread mate. I posted a pic of the cover off. It's on the right hand side of the bike as you sit on it

hi thanks was looking for a picture of cover still on the bike taken a bit further back to make sure i remove the right one as we are not all motorcycle experts would rather be sure of undoing the correct part thanks

With all due respect fazerblue if your that uninformed about the bike I think you would be well advised not to mess and to take your bike to a proper service centre for the work.

true to a degree but nobody would know anything until they are shown and if we all gave up that easy we would all be riding our standard bikes all exactly the same and there would be no such thing as custom or mods or streetfighters its suprising what a little info can do.

Fazsrblue. I think there is only the one small cover on that side of the engine. Its sort of shaped like a kidney bowl, only about 8-10 cap headed bolts holding it on. Put the bike on the side stand so the oil is at the other side of the engine too, to avoid spillage.

thank you mickvp most helpful

I've fitted an ignition advancer (boy that bolt was TIGHT) and of course the gasket didn't come off cleanly....I looked on the WEMOTO site which is usually ok for Fazer stuff but no joy there.....any other sources or is it worth using some instant liquid gasket?    Thanks

[red98]

Its only to stop the dust and dirt getting in, I now use a black sealent looks like a gasket when done much better than the orange stuff I used to use.....have you ridden the bike yet, wondering what the difference the advancer makes ...

Thanks for the link NSR.....  Haven't had the chance to ride it with the 4deg advance in it yet but have started it - seems to be smoother & early rev range 'pick up' seems better - looking forward to the ice clearing and taking it out....here's hoping that it's not too long!

[stevierst]

Still haven't fitted mine to the R1 yet, it's sat there on the shelf gathering dust. I'd be interested in hearing the road riding improvements.

Finally managed to get out on the fazer after fitting the 4 deg advance mod.  Have to say it seems more 'willing' also seem to have a smoother power delivery too, also had to adjust the idle after I came back home as it seemed to idle at almost 1400 rpm when previously it was idling at 1100rpm so I'm presuming it's making more efficient use of the fuel too. Looking forward to finding that out!

"Looking at Ivans site....you can get 147bhp with an advancer, ported boots and K&N" you'll be lucky, good luck tho.
