What's the best timing plate for the $$$

From what I understand, the timing plate isn't seen, so what is the advantage with going with a high dollar billet timing plate?

 

Is the Ricky Stator timing plate woth a da*m? I've read a couple of negative threads about Ricky Stator parts, but none specifically about the timing plate?

 

Which one do you guys prefer? What else could I do to get a noticable power increase? The timing plate, and set it at +4?

 

Anything else bolt-on that will add a good amount of power?

 

 

My current setup:

2002 Yamaha Banshee

 

NOSS Coolhead w/ 21cc Domes

FMF Fatty Exhaust w/ CoreII silencers

K&N Filter

K&N PowerLid

Boyesen Carbon Fiber Dual Stage Reeds

300 Mains

25 Pilot

The Ricky Stator plate is a cast piece. I've seen several with stripped out threads for the screws. Honestly, I'm not impressed with anything RS makes.

 

Chariot Racing makes a billet aluminum plate for right around the same price. Excellent quality.

 

Thanks for the info man...I had the same feeling about it being cast...

I just put a Chariot perf. timing plate on my Banshee a few months ago, it was a very nice part, nice looking etc. I set mine at about 5deg. The instructions seemed a bit vague for setting the gap for the pick up, but I got more info on that from this site.

I've had a RS plate for years. They work.

But for 15 bucks more (35 plus shipping for the RS plate, 50 plus shipping via Ebay for the Chariot part) I'll be buying a Chariot plate once I tear down my motor for the winter and freshen it up.

 

After going through 2 stators in 2 years from RS...I will never buy anything from there again....period.

 

I have the Chariot head, and it works as good as it looks...
