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.

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.

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.
