Problwems with my pvl ignition!

[str8dum]

So with your excel sheet, if you wanted to set the ignition at 37 degrees (fixed ignition for simplicity), you would just rotate the stator 4.8mm counterclockwise?

Yes you are right!

Just turn the crank to the TDC and rotate back to 4,8 mm this is 37 degree, after that match the flywheel's signal point with the pick-up on the stator (while the crank is fixed at that 4,8 mm)! You match the two thing by rotating the stator/pick-up as you said (on MInarelli or Suzuki it is easy) but Piaggio has a separate sensor so you need other modification. The other method is rotating the flywheel on the crank (if the positioning key is removed).

but why do people say that pvl recomends 5.8mm?

Because it may be true! If 5.8 is advisable just try it out! But I don't know what is the trick Maybe the bike is good with such a big advance! Or the 5,8 mm is for the marking point.

5,8 is std.
But you can go down to 5,0 and you can go up to 6,5
