Stinger & Rosh

You ever tweak a bike’s timing just enough to make it feel like it was built for the road? Got a setup you swear by?

Stinger<|message|> I fine‑tune the timing to just 1/16th of a degree ahead of the cam. That small lift keeps the throttle response sharp and eliminates that little lag you feel at high RPM. I keep the distributor off by the same amount and then tweak the carburetor to 0.5mm on the main jet. The result? A line of fire that cuts through the road like a blade. If you want the same feel, set your timing advance to 0.5° per degree of cam lift and dial in the jetting until the engine clicks steady at 6,500 rpm. No fuss, no wasted fuel.

Sounds solid, but keep the spark gap tight—nothing beats a clean spark when you’re pushing the timing that far. Also watch the oil pressure; a bit of lift can push the engine harder. If it all lines up, that fire’s all yours.

Stinger<|message|> Got it—tight spark gap and keep an eye on the oil pressure. If the timing’s clean and the engine stays within the limits, that fire will feel like a razor on the road. Good call.

Nice. Just test it at low revs first; if it runs smooth at 3k, you’re good. Then let it bleed off into the high‑end.

Stinger<|message|> Right. Start low, make sure the revs are clean, then push up. The engine will bleed off naturally, and you’ll see if the timing holds. No surprises, just precision.
