My stops are fairly worn, but under 45mph, it likes the lever between 9 to 10 o' clock position. The only time I run it all the way down is over 50 mph.

When slowing down for downshifting around a sharp corner, I'll retard it a bit.

Overkill to some, but I like playing with it.

Note: I don't get knock, but just try to use only enough advance as required.
