csrmel Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 yeah you have to hook the lite up to a car battery. then with a pencil or marker make a mark on the case where the timing is at idle before you do anything. after you do the plate re check the mark and make a new one where the new timing is. then grab a degree wheel and set it against the mark to tell how many degrees you are advanced. you need a wheel roughly the same od as the timing mark circumference. google 'degree wheel" on google pictures to download a plethora of degree wheel sizes and designs. print it out on youre computer and you are golden.

chilled Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Posted June 30, 2007 thanks for the input on the parts guys... i decided to go with the Pro Design Stator plate. It seems to have better reviews and a lot less negative feedback that the others. So it on its way! cheers Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 I know the difference how they're both constructed. I meant to ask if there was a difference as far as performance. Thanks for clearing it up guys!! Quote
dajogejr Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 the cast pieces arent bad.. like others said use a little locktite and snug the screws down.. i ran a cast plate for years on my different motors till i went to a pvl.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-YFZ3...sspagenameZWDVW That's actually better than buying it from his website....1.00 shipping....not bad.

Thanks for clearing it up guys!! a timing plate is a timing plate.. there is no difference in performance between the two plates.. Quote
RagunCajun Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 I went with a Ricky Stator plate. Directions werent present and that sucks ass. I had to come here and search to figure out you use the line where the cases meet as a mark. I put lock tite on the 3 screws holding it on. So far so good. I dont see how one can be better than the other. Like they said, it's not under any stress because the stator goes after it and the flywheel spins over it. The only problem i can think of happening is the 3 screws coming un done from the engine's vibration. No big deal. Quote

He was very nice on the phone, and said use the split mark...then he said, didn't instructions come in the box. And...yeah, as I looked over....there they were. Simple, perfect instructions.... I was thinking of taking off my plate, polishing it...so I could feel like I bought more than I needed.... Quote
