Use the wideband, you'd be amazed at how much more accurate it is than reading-plugs, which is just an average. Especially if it has datalogging. Just do couple runs at different throttle-openings, dump memory and draw pretty graphs. I find I usually have to adjust in opposite directions, remove fuel in some areas while increasing in others.
So I’ve been looking around, and I can’t seem to find any info saying that my advance is only 38 degrees.

The owners manual says it’s 42, and I found something else that looked official saying the same. Do you have a thread, or more info on this?

It’s on page 9, says 10 degrees at 1300 rpm, 5 for CA bikes, and 42 degrees at 4500
