Derbi Airsal 50cc Timing

[Derbi_Airsal]

Hi,
I just got my Airsal 50cc kit for my derbi and in the manual that comes with it it says to retard/delay the timing by "0.5", I'm guessing 0.5 seconds? It isn't very clear..

Why would you have to to this? what advantage do you get from retarding it? run cooler?

I just fitted the same kit on my mate's bike and it seems to run fine with the standard timing.

Replies are appreciated.

Does it have adjustable timing/inner rotor kit or something?
