stepped woddruff key/advanced ignition timing
Permalink  
 


just bought practical sportbikes mag just for the reason it had a tzr250 in

so the guy had put in a stepped woodruff key, increasing the timing to +4 degrees advanced

now ive been looking this up and its quite a common mod

one guy put a +7 degrees advanced key on his dt and said it flew

i know that the standard dt cdi retards ignition in the high rev range and this would be a remedy

anyone tried this or had it done on another bike?

i dont think they make them off the shelf, it would have to be designed and machined then hardened
