Ignition timing upgrade

mwirrick · July 1st, 2013, 04:17 PM

Has anyone ever installed an IM8 Andrion ignition advancer? I say ignition advancer but I am not really sure what it does exactly and how new or old it is on the market. Its some kind of electronic box and,ultimately, per some YouTube videos, it seems to bump up horsepower about 1.5 units and torque almost the same amount. As I am racing my 250, that could be big. Other guys are using some sort of ignition wizardry, but I haven't been able to ask them about what they are doing....yet. Thanks for any info any of you might have.

Also thinking of ceramic bearings for less rolling resistance. With the low power of the bike, every tiny thing counts. Anyone have any experience with them?

Again, thanks.
