Tweak the ignitionIgnition timing is key to optimal performance. If the spark ignites the fuel and air mixture in your motorcycle's engine too late, it will run flat and overheat. If it ignites it too early, your engine may get damaged. Getting that timing right, however, is another surefire way of getting more horsepower out of your motorcycle.Unless you are 100% confident in your skills, you should do your research beforehand. You can find guides to help you measure and improve spark timing online.Remember, messing with the ignition can be dangerous. If you don't have a lot of experience with tuning, you should not do it on your own. Consult a more experienced friend or talk to a mechanic. Also, this is a process that might take a while. If you do decide to tweak your bike's ignition yourself, you'll have to take notes and compare until you get the timing just right.
