question on +4 timing


g-force

Recommended Posts

if its kicking back a little on the kick starter the timing is probally advanced about all you wanna advance it.sounds to me like you might have it advanced a little to much.i'd try retarding it just a little bit.

ive heard that banshee ignition timing is poorly and erraticly set and is often already advanced or retarded several degrees by flukes from the factory , get a light and time it and youd get many different readings on many unmodified banshees ,you may very wel l be much higheradvanced than you think ! dont know how true this is, but ive heard it man y times from many different reliable sources :cheers:

Does anyone lose any topend after going +4 or more on the timing. I've heard that the most noticable gains are low to mid with the timing advancement? I'm asking because I was gonna get the ricky stator plate but don't wanna lose anything on top.

The 4 degree timing advance took 3 or 4 mph {on pavement} away from the top end on my 99. It's running a shaved head with 140 psi in both cylinders. With out the advance, my bike revs 500 rpms or more higher than with the advance. The benifit I got from the advance was out of the powerband {lower rpms}.

Hopeing that I dont have to re-jet either....but Im going to do some plug work to find out.

The timing plate mod is well worth it. You will need a flywheel puller. DO NOT use anything else or you will destry your flywheel. If you can afford to leave the shee down for awhile I would have boonman lighten up your stock flywheel. I wish i could leave mine down for him to lighten it. If you have access to a air impact it will make life easier. You can get a flywheel puller just about anywhere. Set your gap on your pick-up coil to .020".
