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

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

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.
