Yah I know that... I may not go that much we'll see how it starts...
the bike is useless if I can't start it easy... and being a air cooled 4 stroke
they tend to run Hot anyway... so timing is critical maybe 12 deg would be better LOL.....
it's a 750cc so the loss in top end power will not be noticed by me I don't think
HAHA....
on my old 305 Dream I played around with the timing quite a bit and found it's sweet spot which was more advanced than the spec's called for... the spark advance did not go far enough on it !
.... Did you know you can actually set the timing with a vacuum gauge ?
I did that on a ford Pinto one time then checked it with the timing light and it was spot on ! LOL....
on the Triumph they say static timing and then check it with a timing light
which makes sense !
.....
what worries me is the spark plug numbers is a 6 colder than an 8 in NGK ?
