Yeah, but to what purpose. The facility is there, as standard, to adjust the ignition advance/retard. One DD'er could argue they had no idea.... plausible. The other could argue that having measured the TDC point the stock markings are out. Very plausible.
The pickups are the trigger for the CDi's. Move the plate 2 degress and the whole curve is moved 2 degrees. The ignitors simply carry the curve data. There's your advance.....
Why then would you go on a mass witch hunt for the either the DP ignitors or altered pick up positions?? It serves no purpose
The nett results of any tweaks to the ignition are neither here nor there.
IMO, the only mods worth any significant gain are flywheels, pistons and heads. These are easy spots and the tests are well known. Why spend 50 quid on a protest and waste the time of the officials chasing pickup positions when you'd get more advantage from a wearing a slicker helmet or tucking your elbows in a bit tighter.......
It's a waste of resource and time. The DD is supposed to be a simple series.
