Nevermind on teh advance key..I was confusing your FZR1000 with 600's on that.Hough Racing wrote:i have a timing light but how do i know if it has advance mode. i do not see how a timing advance key can be added to the crank, where would that be? the mark i am using on the crank is just below the T on the crank veiw hole.
Advance mode means a dial with 'degrees advance' or button and display on the timing light to add in advance. On the FZRs base idle advance is 5°BTDC( + or - 1°) ...so you dial in 5° advance withthe dial or button and hook it to #1 spark plug and shine the light in the hole while cranking/running. The mark should be in the center of the window with the proper (5°) advance on the light.
