light coil idea
Motorrad:
I figured there was a better way to do it... But it was just interesting... and figured everyone would like the article.
Danger4u2:
I'm ready to pony up the cash for a working/dependable lighting coil set up that would fit in the stock stator cover. The pipe on the KX500AF that AJ builds runs to close to the cover for me to use my E- Line coil. So it's alter the pipe or alter the stock coil.
BDI, I count 12 poles (is that the correct term?) on the yfz 450 stator. Could it be wound in such a way that 6 of the poles would drive the electrical system for the bike and the other 6 be just to power the lights? In other words 2 separate systems.
BDI I know you're familiar with the E- Line coil because I bought yours. But for everyone else, the E- Line coil is separate from the electrical system of the bike. You remove the nut on the fly wheel and replace it with a threaded magnet that serves as the flywheel nut. The new housing that E- Line supplies holds the winding.
BDI:
Yes it could be wound that way but I do not think it would take six poles to run the bike probably only three. I think what I need to do is call some place like ricky stator and pick his brain. The big problem is the trigger With the yfz stator the trigger is mounted on the outside of the flywheel and there is no room on the kx500 for that. I was thinking that it might be possible to make a small billet housing that would bolt on the outside of the plastic mag cover to house the trigger but then there we are on the outside of the mag cover again and I don't want to be there.
Danger4u2:
I'm on the sideline cheering for you to come thru with what's needed. If you can do it we'll call you BDI Tesla.
maddoggy:
bdi, could you possibly wrap the pickups around to the front of the coil. then maybe you could mount a small trigger on the inside of the cover. just a thought. MADDOGGY
