Hi all

Can anyone give me the drum on the ELS ignition advancers , iv,e been thing of getting one for a while but want to be sure its the right thing for my Rex, what are the pros and cons i suppose is the question i,m asking.
My Rex is basicly stock except Remus slipon can and Factory pro stage 3 jet, kit my main concern is not to lose any of the great that it has.

Thanks Neale.

An advancer has limited advantages on near stock bikes,but does give a crisper throttle response, and aids pick up.

I fitted one and did notice a bit of difference...to be honest you may only pick up 1-3 hp.

I had a Moto Fab +4 (stamped as +4 as it 4 over TDC, +2 from stock

) in mine, I recently swapped it to an ELS +4 (this is +4 from stock, so +6 in total). I thought it felt smoother. Swapped bikes with Shaun on Sunday - his has the stock rotor in his - when he got off he commented that my "engine felt alot smoother than his". I hadnt mentioned what I had done at that stage either.

I like it and will definately leave it in - they are not for everyone (as you would know if you have read "that thread" on ZRXOA).

Kwick has been a fountain of advise for me over the years I've been on the OA, I have no reason to doubt what he says.

BTW, I also installed the ELS Starter Chain Tensioner Fix as well

For $25 that soujnd like good bang for the buck.

I mightb have to run mine on the dyno to see if it has any more ooomph that last time when it had the Moto Fab one installed.

i want to get one but i've yet to have it confirmed if i'd need to switch from regular to super gas...or not

I've got one in and the first thing that really stood out was how much smoother the bike was.

In all the drame's I had with my jetting I had dyno runs done with and without the +4 and even though the bike was running odd it put more power out everywhere (not a lot) with the +4. Cheap little mod and well worth it I reckon. Pete (KWICK) knows his shit.
