Hi Bob, What bike are you talking about?

Which reminds me of an incident when I w...

The ignition on my 500s - but not the one in the previous picture - is set to 5/8" BTDC. What setting do you use? I follow Nicholson's recommendations : 1/2" For my NG and in the range of 1/2" - 5/8" for the VH. I tend to agree with the thoughts of Brian Cross, about his VH, whi...
