KX5 Lighting Coil

<< < (4/4)

raredesign:
Hm, turns out that I have a moose coil already....and that doesn't even do the trick well enough. I think I am going to have to try e-line or maybe a stator rewind would work...haven't looked into that yet though.

chrisorbics:
Hi anymore feedback on lighting for my 1986 kx500? Does anybody know if I can update my flywheel to a 1990 or newer? Will it fit? Will I have to change the stator and coil?

hughes:
You will need to change the entire ignition system flywheel, stator plate, cdi unit, and maybe coil. Your bike has two pick up coils located on the stator plate leaving no room for a lighting coil to be mounted, the 90 or newer stator plate has one coil mounted on the stator plate leaving room for a lighting coil to be mounted. Unsure if the newer system will fit your bike, I have a 90 model ignition system for my bike that bolts right up.
