guys -
very soon there will be a release of another option for the CX ignition -
see here
the HALL pickup option
and
the stock coil option
Im trying to work out the relative build quantities to get some stock ready -
so please vote
Hall Effect setup (this removes the need for all of the original CX coils except the 12V charging - ie not high voltage , no advance and no pickups)
Stock coils - (removes the need for high voltage and advancer - still need good pickup coils (similar to igntech setup)
third option -
I already have a igntech and would just like a hall effect pickup to use with it instead of my failing pickups....
Here most will want to only buy what will get them going now
Some if they are up grading will want to do the g8 installl and mot have to replace the pickups
And yet others that have the ignitec will need
The hall effect to replace there blown picups and get going Again
So it should be priced per unit but with a bundle discount would be my choice
Agreed tht all 3 are needed - agreed about bundle discount -
the question arrises from stocking parts and in particular rotors and PCBs which have to ordered in reasonable quantities -
its not so much about numbers as it is about the ratios - that need to be prepared, and whether I was going to bother making one for the igntech available.
I agree with this. I have several sets of pulsars and they are all slightly out of spec, resistance wise. It would be nice to ditch the obsolete stuff and start over not being dependent on scrounging old electronics and pulsars that may or may not be good.
test riding the test bed .....
thats one way of putting it ......
start with the stock pickup option - as thats easiest install - Q is your CDI stator high voltage ok - if so I should drop in a dummy load for you before you start - you dont want to lose those high voltage coils
OK Ray, i've just voted for stock coil setup. Only because I have a good stock of pickups though.
And for the thingy I want hall effects and COP. ;}
Put 14 k on the blue bike today. Just have to rebalance the carbs. I think the swap from Mac to Motad has thrown things off somewhat. It idles on the right side only. Other than that it rides well.
Been testing one of Rays new ignitions for a little while and it was working well. Ray tweeked a couple of values on the advance curve yesterday and now it is even better. Though my bike is a CDI bike I believe it is now running a TI advance curve. This seems to work better than the CDI curve.
I have been testing back to back with this ignition and a good CDI unit powered by a Raymodule power supply unit to take this bikes marginal stator out of the equation. The bike runs well either way but I think a tad better/quicker with Rays ignition.
The version currently under test is for CDI, still using the bikes stock pickups. Basically it takes over from the stator CDI windings and replaces the advance pulsers function. Same as an ignitech.
I will soon pull the motor of the test bike to install the hall effect rotor and board and begin testing this. I may replace a couple of things inside the back cover while the motor is out, but removing the rear cover is uneccessary to install the hall effects as this can be done through the advance pulser cover.
I have 2 bikes that are being re built and my buddy has another we are working on. I could only core for one but we went ask the old stuff out. I have a new ignitech that woo be going in bike 1 needing the hall effect. Bikes 2 and 3 will need full unit with hall effect. Count me in for those .
Any chance of buying a hall effect to use with my ignitech pretty soon? We have my engine tore down ands I just installed the custom rewind g8 stator. I would love to scrap the old stuff and not have to pull the motor later again.
I think I should take a full install kit too for my current build. And maby another one for the next build.
Seeing as I am in SA, it would probably be silly to post from AUS to USA & back to SA.
Murray I will chat with you soon.
