Is there any way to r****d cdi ignition timing?

Question

Can you do anything to a cdi ignition to r****d ignition timing? It is to advanced and dont Know what to do?

Answer 1

IF it is adjustable, the plate your ign is on has slots so you can rotate it.

You figure which way to rotate it to r****d timing.

How you know its advanced too far?

Answer 2

I am no motorcycle mechanic so mine is not an experts opinion.

Are you sure it wrong?

Mine is a CBR 600.

It has an inspection hole where you can aim a timing light to check timing.   You should see two marks that line up.

If it is wrong,  as its not adjustable,  you have a problem in the ignition system.

You should be looking at a Workshop Manual for you bike or similar model bikes.  

How you test each component with out the required tool, I cant say.

It may be time to visit the shop.

Before I go.

When posting questions could you also mention the bikes details.

That is,  make model and year.

Answer 3

Grind the mounting holes so you can move the pick ups.

You better know what you're doing, I did that when I was fresh out of MC school and burned a hole right through the top of a piston.

Answer 4

Just like the others, I ask why you think it's too far advanced?  However, I'll go one step further.  Is it pinging?  If so, that could also be caused by a too lean fuel mixture, low octane fuel or heat range too high on the spark plugs.  If your bike has a mechanical spark advance, it could be rusted and sticking fully advanced.  On most older bikes, it is located behind the "breaker plate".  It could also be caused by excessive carbon build up in the combustion chamber causing pre-ignition.

If you have ruled out all other possibilities and your bike has points or magnetic pickups where the old points were, you'll need to rotate the plate the same way the engine rotates.  If the plate has slotted holes, it's easy but if it has electronic ignition, most likely it doesn't and you'll have to remove and slot the holes.  Before you remove anything, take a punch or chisel and mark the current position so you can always return it to the orginal setting.  If it doesn't have a plate that can be rotated, then you're going to have to fool the computer by changing the electronic signal from certain sensors.  Since you're asking the question, I doubt that's something you are capable of doing.  

Answer 5

Only if you can reposition the trigger for the module.  there may be slotted holes where the screws hold it down.  You sure it's too advanced?
