Just Finished Moding My Timing Plate No Difference

[nickxc]

I just got done modifying my timing plate and Im not sure if I did it right. It didnt feel any different really, If anything it seemed to take longer to reach the top of the gears especially 5 and 6 wtf did I do it right?? Im pretty sure I did I widened the holes so the timing plate would rotate clockwise. I widened them as far as the rib that goes up beside them and then shaved the rib off so the bolts would mount flush all except the one nest to where the little black box mounts, that one I couldn't get into to shave so I bolted it up and it bolted up fine but the bolt just sticks out a little more because of the rib on one side of it. will that effect anything. I really dont know much about electrical stuff.

any help would be great

thanks in advance

How far did you shave? Each mm is equal to 1 degree I'm pretty sure. Did you go too far? I wouldn't recommend anything over +4.

[locogato11283]

are you sure theres no difference? it should be pullin longer on top if you adjusted it about +4.

I only rode it once but It really felt flater all around. There is a rib that goes up on each side of the 3 bolt holes. I shaved it right to that rib and then stopped. I then shaved off the rib that was on the side i shaved too so the bolts would mount flush. all accept the one that has the mounts for the little black box on it because I couldnt get into it. so that bolt sticks out a little bit more but it still holds well.

 

any help is very much appreciated. Thanks guys!!

check your pickup coil gap. I ferget what it should be. someone post it please.

I didnt realize there was a certain pickup coil gap. Is the pickup coil the black box I talk about??? Thanks

I noticed power improvement on mine when I modded the plate.

the pick up coil is screwed to the timing plate (black box)and should be set at .015-.025.make sure you have one of the tabs on the flywheel next to the pickup when setting....

[BdBanshee]

I always set the gap to .030", Yamaha's spec is .020"

[nickxc]

Is there an advantage to setting it closer to .015 or .030???

[nickxc]

oh ya how the hell do you measure .015 of an inch????
