hate to sound like a noob, but is it just a matter of taking off that cover on the right side that says suzuki, unscrewing those 3 screws, pull it off, slot the screw holes, and put it back on? or is there some secret thing i should know about>?

This is mindlessly simple. If you have 20 minutes, a drill, a dremel and any sort of mechanical skill you can do this.
Good write-up BTW. I've noticed a slight difference in power (mostly mid-range). Only the butt-dyno though - nothing for hard numbers yet. I want to get the before & after for this, the jet kit, exhaust, intake and a couple of other little things - dyno time ain't cheap so I need to have everything else ready-to-go first.---Jeff (Long Beach Represent!)

Just to round out the slots a bit so they're not so ragged when you're done. That's how I did it anyway. You want 'em to look nice and professional:

1mm per 1 degree? not by my measurements
Obviously this has been tried and tested... but if there's ever anything I've learned, its measure twice cut once. So I checked the claim to 5mm for a 5 degree advance, and that's definitely not the case by what I figure.
With the protractor on top, 5 degrees is about 5mm at the outside edge of the plate, but where the holes are drilled, its only about 3mm to get a 5 degrees difference.
I took some pictures with the protractor and ruler resting on top... If someone wants to see them, PM me and maybe you could host them / link to the picture too if you think its worthwile at all.

Re: Spark Advance
Originally posted by Daves KatI am wondering if this can be done the same way on a '03 Kat 600 with Cal. emissions? The initial timing on the cal model is 4 degrees instead of 10? I also cannot see the pics. Thanks, Dave

Re: Poor man's ignition advancer. Do it yourself
Originally posted by meanstrkWell the advance should be 3-5° and 1° is almost exactly 1mm on the edge of the plate. So enlarge the holes about 5mm.
However as he himself states that he uses 3deg advance I would surmise that the whole 5mm elongation is not required and that an elongation of 3mm would be sufficient to get 4.5-5deg of advance.
I have not physically measured this part and/or the deflections but from a purely mathmatical trigonometry analysis the above would seem to be correct.Riding 2002 GSX600F for 2 years. UK rider.
