Timing plate question

[94BANSHEE]

Hi guys,

Im about to install a timing plate that I just ordered and was wondering, how will I know what degree

I should set it at? Currently, I have T5 pipes and Wiseco pistons which are bored .30 over. But the

rest of the engine is stock and runs really well now. I think I dont need to even install the plate, but Id like to get the benefit from it if possible. I have a rewound stator as well, but I think there should be no issues

in that area.

 

Is there a method to know exactly where to leave the timing plate set at?

 

Thanks

What fuel are you running?

Most of your timing plates these days will come with small increments of one degree each. I would say with your setup to set it at +4. Hope this helps..

What fuel are you running?

 

91 octane with Castrol 2-stroke oil

 

Now since my bike is running perfectly at the moment, will adjusting the timing by 4 degrees

be any difference?

+4 and you will be fine

[94BANSHEE]

+4 and you will be fine

 

so be increasing to PLUS 4, will that give me more top end?

more mid... at the most... and look into getting a cool head like NOSS with domes...that way you can change out for compression. Thats what i did and was very happy with the added power I got from the head. All over power. And depending on where you ride. like water/ mud or sand and dirt would be some pods or In box K&N without lid. I added pods and that woke my killer up!!!

Like everyone else said do the +4 and you should be on target. If you do not know how to install it look for a video on here by "Nitronate" he did a good job. It will teach you how to do almost everything on your bike.

If you were running 110 octane race fuel with my mods, would it be any benefit to run it at +5? or +6?

[GrMeyer]

time and compression will have a key on your oct. so chech your compression and then some of the race guys should beable to help you out on if running 110 oct with high timing will do much for you... You might want to lookin into a cool head so you can change compression...so if you do want to run 110 you will have the compression to back it up and not just waste gas

If you have the compression to actually need 110 octane fuel, then yes +6 on the ignition advance would be an advantage. If you do not have 110 compression, more than +6 would be an advantage for you with 110 octane fuel.

Not saying you don't have 110 octane compression with a re-worked OEM head... Just that it take a lot of work to make it happen. It's not something that is normally done due to the $$$ involved.
