SV 650 4 degree advance - SV650.org

Bought a couple of SV650 4 degree advance woodruff keys a year or so ago and never fitted them.

Supposed to improve throttle response and add a couple of bhp, I believe JHS knock these out at £25 a pop

Haven't got an SV now so up for sale.

They fit Curvys and Pointys

£12 each inc postage

It means the alternator rotor (also ignition signal generator) sits 4 degrees further advanced, it's a stepped Woodruff key, I'm told this is a common tweak in karts. Anyway it gives you a dollop of bottom end, see the red and blue torque traces for a stock (and rather weedy) 1999 SV650:
