I keep reading about these but I have no idea.
1. Didn't mean to get under your skin. 2. The late 80s although I'm sure there were some engines that had them well into the 90s. 3. My point was that it was based on rpm, not whether it was integrated into the ECU or not. But on carb'd bikes, you won't find an ECU, just an ignition control box.ZXLNT said:Semantics. Both you and I know what he is talking about.. My description is accurate enough for what he needed to know. When is the last time you saw a centrifugal advancer on a motorcycle??? As far as an electronic ignition advancer I dont belive thats really true either. Most ignition timing curves are fixed into either the ingitor box or a true ECU on a fuel injection bike. Never seen a stand alone electronic "ignition advancer"...
Right. At best, huh? Just as likely to cause an across the board loss.2002 Busa SE said:what you forgot to add is for most bikes they are a waste of money. youll loose low end just for mabye 1 HP way up top.
