How do you adjust ignition timing for 1998 DS80?

To adjust the ignition timing on a 1998 Yamaha DS80, first ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the engine is cool. Remove the left side cover to access the ignition system. Use a timing light to check the current timing by aligning the timing marks on the flywheel with the stator marks at the specified RPM. If adjustments are needed, loosen the stator mounting screws and rotate the stator slightly to achieve the correct timing before tightening the screws back down. Always refer to the service manual for specific timing specifications.

How do you adjust ignition timing on 96 impala?

The 96 Impala LT1 uses an optispark ignition system in which timing is controlled by the PCM (Computer). In order to change the timing you would need to use a computer, cable, and a tuning program such as PCM4Less or Tunercat. The Optispark mounted on the front of the engine is non adjustable for timing controls. The timing is controlled by the PCM sending signals to the ignition control module located adjacent to the coil on the passenger head.
