No.It is on the 89 to 02.I do not know of anyway to control ignition advance on the new bikes.The ignition advance is handle by the electronics after 02.

I can guarantee you the DIY timing advance does work on later models as well - although the ignition hardware changes, the principles timing advance and the end effect is the same.
I made the advance mods to my 2004F and found it gave better throttle response and low-end torque but it felt a little breathless at high revs.
