light coil idea

Motorrad:
Could always machine brass rings like on my ward bike to take care of the weight issue??


I believe that a good ignition curve etc is the next hurdle for seriouse power inccrease

The Flyin Hawaiian:
If someone would make a weight that would equal the stock 500 flywheel with a 14oz weight on it I would do it. I have a spare 04 250 ignition, carb etc. You could even make the lights work by powering them off of the powerjet coil. They wont be very bright though! Enough to get you through tech inspection at a enduro or putt home slowly if you get stuck out at night. Ive been running the lights on my 250 this way for about 5 years now.

BDI:
I think you missed what I was saying. The stator I showed In the picture is of an aftermarket coil and flywheel that also includes a lighting coil that puts out 100 watts power.That would charge a battery and run an Hid light that puts out as much light as 200 watts of halogen at idle. It looks to be about the same size and weight as the stock one so I don't think you will need to add weight. The only reason I mention using the 250 CDI is because The aftermarket coil uses a different trigger coil then the 500 but the same style as the 250 so I was just thinking the that coil and flywheel may not work with the 500 cdi but might work with 250 cdi. I really think you missed what I was saying by a mile or two. O well

maddoggy:
so if i understand you correctly, what you have in the pics is a stator coil and flywheel that is ignition and lighting/charging all in one coil set-up? all you need is a custom stator plate and proper ignition components to match the coil and flywheel? that sounds fairly easy. you would have to use a degree wheel to match up the timing correctly for your new stator plate right? if this works out you'll be a hero! set me straight if i'm way off.

BDI:
correctomundo my friend. From what I understand so far If I send These guys my stock parts they will fab up a stator plate and put together the whole thing to fit my needs. It also seems like they can supply the whole ignition to go with it kinda like a PVL set up. If my leg wasn't busted and I wasn't out of work I would start this process immidiately. Danger If you would like to follow my lead on this I would be happy to do a bunch of the talking phone calling and leg work if you would like to go for it. I don't want to do a bunch phone calling and waisting peoples time with no money to spend. I do have spare flywheel and stator I can mail off to these people to see what can be done. These people are right by stewart if you are interested PM me and maybe we can put a cool post together on Kx500 lighting finally. I think this would be a great deed to humanity and I wouldn't mind helping.
