Glad to hear that, any feedback would be useful.
I found Final Impact's thread. He has done 5 degrees advance.
The changes made paid off!!! Throttle chop is NEAR NONEXISTENT!!! So I'm very happy with the combined results of a few simple mods!
As of 2014-10-03:
1) CAT delete w/a straight through mid-pipe.
2) Advance timing 5.0°
3) Add fuel by means of CO adjust From 0/0 to 38/38 < my case...
4) ->> 89 - 91 Octane fuel ALWAYS (USA grading)
?) AISS plates. Not sure if they help this. However, by not adding air at the exhaust valves when throttle plates are closed, the exhaust should retain a lower pressure and thus, pull in gases better (think scavenge). So, these may in fact help this.
Bike is happy, rider is VERY HAPPY! Its just a pleasure to ride and will likely keep it for another season and continue to tinker and see what can be done to the little 600 to bring its performance up...
This winter may get it a port job, pre-cat removal from headers, and thinner head gasket to bump the compression. Drop in some CR10E plugs and the Bazzaz F/I controller and see how she does!
Lovable features:
+ Throttle response - engine tracks throttle position much quicker.
+ Clutchless shifting is cake (due to better throttle response)
+ Low RPM rewet - although not 100% fixed, I'm going to say the typically rider would not have a complaint much less notice.
+ Throttle input is smooth, i.e. roll-on throttle action more more linear even pull from lower RPMs. i.e. Pulls better from 5K to 10K!
+ 0 to 100 pull is better. Its breathing. No proof except factory installed @ss dyno....
+ Two Bro pipes have a nice sharp crackle.
+ Engine temps unchanged from stock.
+ Fuel MPG didn't take huge hit. Advancing the timing helps this.
Drawbacks:
- Plus or better grade fuel required
- Idle RPM seems to vary a little more with temperature. Need to investigate.
