'04limited Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 ok yesterday i installed a ricky stator adjustable timing plate set it at plus 4 but when i took it for a test run i didnt really notice any difference in the power. when everyone else on here put one on they said that they felt a noticeable difference.did i do something wrong possibly not install it right? what would happen if i set the timing higher? maybe 6 or 7 i know that i would probally need to run a higher octane fuel. can you guys please help me out thanks in advance.

Snopczynski Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 What compression are you running in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'04limited Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 last time i checked it was around 140 im at high elevation around 5000 ft would that make n e differance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 more than likely with that low compression you will not see much of a differwence with +4 degrees of timing. You can take that thing up to +6 with that kind of compression on 92 octane fuel. I would probably try to run at least about 155-160 compression in it though.

'04limited Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) does the elevation here have any thing to do with the compression? with 155 - 160 do you need a higher octane fuel? Edited July 17, 2007 by '04limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 compression will go up as you drop toward sea level. No you do not need anything more than 92 octane with 160 psi compression. The bike will run cooler with 100 octane in it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripledsracing Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 hey if u have a coolhead change out your domes i know guys that run 17cc domes it will bump up your compression a great deal.then run your timing up to around 6-7 degrees but whatch your timing marks on your plugs to see if its to much timing.

'04limited Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 do you use aftermarket domes in that stock head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
