Adjust timing on motorcycle?

That depends on what kind of timing you are wondering about... In a basic ignition there are two types of engine timing, static and dynamic. Static timing is the timing your engine runs at idle and low rpm. Dynamic timing is the variable (thus called dynamic) timing your engine runs on from low to full rpm. The static timing should always be set first, it depends on what ignition your motorcycle has...points? magnetic pickup? crank fired? there are several types The dynamic timing refers to the timing advance the distributor modulates through engine rpm. Setting this requires a timing light and timing marks on the harmonic balancer and engine block (usually stamped into the parts themselves from the factory). To help you out further I need to know what kind of ignition you have...a service manual will tell you what kind you have, and even how to adjust it. Best of luck!

How much horsepower can you get by advancing the timing?

The difference between increasing the horsepower by advancing the timing, and advancing the timing to where it causes severe pre-ignition and engine damage is so slight it isn't worth considering. As an "increasing horsepower" idea, it is best left at the starting gate.
