Pro Ignition Advancers?

Post by Image »

Anyone know about pro ignition advancers? How much difference do they make? Is the difference noticable? Would carbs etc need resetting? Anyone tried them?

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I like!
I have the -4 dgeree one fitted, and because it runs a bit hotter (causes no problems, but the fan cuts in all the time in traffic in hot weather) I fitted a four-row oil cooler from an SP1.

(I have a four-row SP1 cooler for sale atm in Sales and Wants).

BTW, that link shows a question- where do you get a slim fan for the LH side rad (which is the other way to keep the engine cool) and apparently Yamaha R1 fans are very slim.
Mikstr has found a suitable fan and fitted it to his bike, try a search for his posts if you want to go down that route, or PM him.

I bought the manual fan switch and a neat dash light to show when it's on, for track use, but never got round to fitting, as the larger oil cooler works fine.

Back to the advancer, they give a crisper throttle response, it feels livelier, easy to fit but you'll need a clutch cover gasket to hand as they always break coming off.
lastly I found that it eliminates the airbox cough- bonus :thumbup:

It's about the right price.
I think the UK importer is Big CC Racing.

You could try looking at the USA Ebay site, and see what delivery would be.
Beware import tax, though.
