Looking for a Ignition Advancer
 

Anybody got a Ignition Advanver sitting around they don't need anymore ? I want one.

Well I'll have one soon. I just need to get around to taking it out.

If you are still looking in a little while, we can talk then.

Bat2 I have one I will give you for free..... :) .......

Forgot to ask what year your bike is as they only work with the early models and are you looking for a 2,4 or 6 degree unit?

Well bat2 since you have bought the engine from me....I pretty much know the year....you just need to let me know what else you want or need and I will pull it and send it to you for S/H only.... Sincerely,
partswhore.......... oh well ....anywho give me a call in the morrow.....two Firestorms I bought in England will be arriving tomorrow sometime....they have some cool stuff I will never use on them....

+1

The next time my clutch cover is off I'm going back to stock.

Tell me why? I advanced a 2000 zx12r and even at that high compression the low speed response was improved at no expence to top end. General concensus is an advance helps all bikes. Hawk too, what did you find?

Advancing the ignition does, in fact, help the midrange with a loss of a bit up top (even if you don't "feel" it). I put an advancer on the CBR600 I raced and it made a big difference in drive off the corners. I guess that's why I put one on my VTR, not thinking that it's already got gobs of midrange but is lacking in top end - exactly the opposite of what an advancer helps you with.

Ok so what is the latest verdict on advancers, last time I looked everyone was high on +4. I just got a 98 what's the concensus?

Yeah, and anyone got one they want ot sell me - Piggybacking off his above question;-)

I think the ignition advancer was a good idea for the inline-4 guys and got applied to the VTR's. For the big twin I would say not to bother - you are better off without it.

It'll give you about 1 hp and better throttle response. Given the cost of it, that's about inline with slip-ons or most other bolt-on mods for power to cost ratio.

I run 93 octane most of the time as preignition could be a concern with the higher advance.

Ok so I think my answer is a +4 ignition advancer anybody got one to give/sell me?

Just to elaborate, these gains are in the midrange only. You will lose 1-2hp (maybe 3) up top.

Honestly, I would not go with the advancer. Spend your time focusing on other areas of the bike as that will be much more valuable for you.
