kcw125 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hey I'm just wondering what everyone opinion is on advancing there timing. Is it a good idea to advance the timing +4? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 What kind of compression or domes do you have? +4 is a pretty good proven amount of timing in stockish motors. Keep an eye on it and make sure it gets fresh fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig B Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is it true that a stock banshee CDI retards the timing 4 degrees throughout the rpm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing aftermarket is intake and exhaust Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcw125 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Advancing the timing means spark will happen sooner. This can be good or bad depending on many other variables.What is your opinion on advancing the timing on a banshee with just an exhaust and intake?

trickedcarbine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 +4 degrees is totally safe if you are using fresh premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcw125 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 +4* is normally safe. It can help make some more usable power.Would a 3-4/degree advance still be safe if I put vf4 reeds on? Sorry for the qs but I'm trying to better understand timing. What type of upgrade would make a timing advance risky?

Bennett131 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes its still safe with v force reeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcw125 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Lots of compression, too much timing, and shitty fuel.Thank you ZillaFreak Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 not even close, it is advanced a lot. Here is the stock timing curve built into the CDI. So when you add +4*, you move that curve up 4* throughout the curve. Ignition timing advance: 17°@1200rpm to ~22°@3500 then retard 10° every 5000rpm[/size] Cool chart, so Zilla does that mean looking at the chart you would take the line and move it up 4* from 0 rpm to 10,000, everything else remaining the same? Just trying to understand exactly how the timing effects the rpms.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Note* check plugs after timing bump and reeds. You will be bumping up pilot and main a tad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently running 260mains with my exhaust and intake. Any ideas on what the main and pilot would be after I get the reeds and bump the timing?

kcw125 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Can anybody explain how to properly set the pick up coil while installing an adjustable timing plate set to +4 Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hercalmighty Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Grab a business card and use it like a feeler gauge. Check both flywheel nubs for clearance Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Wait! 260 mains with exhaust and intake? That's a time bomb waiting to go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
