PVL IGNITION ADVICE 500 LC

Retarded timing give hotter exhaust at higher RPM = more HP.
More advanced timing gives colder exhaust = more Grunt.

So you are right.

hahahahaha response
a 500 out of a turn, not exactly like you were gonna fan the clutch
they pull harder than 85% of the riders could know what to do with
now on the street, that's different

I got a grin when I read that...best get a bigbore kit for it I said to myself..yuk yuk

Can you post a link or at least a title to that CDI/Coil unit please Nikel?

not saying it isnt good enough, of course it still has enough bottom end, its a 500. when you are a gear tall sometimes you notice it, depends on your gearing. should the timing just be set at 0 btdc to really save the motor and foot since no one really knows what to do with a 500 anyways?

Absolutely.
This is the exact system I bought.

I can absolutely feel how the curve have changed now when I have retarded the ignition.
Changing the ignition on a big stroke give a bigger change than an 125 so it's more easy to feel.

thats what I'm talking about on the street you could feel it on the dirt they are hard to "hook up" so you really could spin past the flat spot from torque

Yeah thats true.
Easy to start vs 5 nm.
I take easy to start =)

Many thanks Nikel. Does anyone know if this will work with the Moto Splat mini 6?

I need to check my timing. It must be too advanced.
My 430 kicks like a mule... keeps me limping for days.

ignition systems can't read
the advance should be set then checked with a timing light, the marks are not always perfect

This will fix that problem.

If the CDI part is in the coil and not the stator then it will work.

and i thought motoplat were like this...thats why you have to replace a motoplat coil with another or one made to do it. they arent just a "coil"

Yes, I remember a thread here about decompression valves... Thanks for the reminder. Set the timing wherever and no worries.

And just to scare the daylights out of ya I present.
The ultimate kickback.

Obviously pays to strobe the ignition by turning over with an electric drill or similar without the plug in before attempting to start the engine.

Kickstart speed should allow strobe check

Wow! That's a kick back! Had a similar one on a '95 KTM 620, thing almost dislocated my hip.
