Lighting Again...
BigGreenMachine:
Moose makes a lighting coil and dual sport wiring harness. Seems as if it works by putting a single ignition coil on the stator plate and a lighting coil in place of the second stator coil. That means stock flywheel will work. Here are the part numbers and prices out of the Dennis Kirk catalogue. The wiring harness makes life easy so you can hook up a brakelight and headlight.
Lighting coil pn # 20-1303 $69.95
Ignition coil pn # 20-1734 $59.95
Dual Sport Wiring Harness pn # 21-1025 $77.95
Anyone try this stuff yet????

I went with the E-line coil and yes it cost allot of money. It is independent of the bikes wiring system. If it messes up the bike will still run. http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,3660.new.html#new

No, but i am now officially interested!!!! Hella lot more affordable than E-lines 440 bucks!

The Moose coils will work if you just want a light on the trail. I'll be full blown street legal. The Moose coils won't power all that I will be running. First off the E-Line coil will keep the battery charged. If you don't have a battery your lights go dim at idle. You need to add up the watts of the items you will be running and make sure the coil puts out enough. I'll be running battery, head light, blinkers, stop light, tag light, horn, back lit speedo with indicator lights, GPS, 12 volt port for charging phones, and hand grip heaters. Man, after listing all of that stuff, sounds like I should add running water. And for 440 bucks they just let you look at the coil. Cost of the E-Line is $459. plus shipping. Let us know how you like the Moose coil.
Desert Panther:
would it be possible to wire that Moose system to charge a very small battery while the engine is running? Like a Yuasa YTX-4 series for the 250 Ninja. I could add a Battery Tender harness to it, and just charge it every night when i get home to make up for the deficit. I am just trying the cheap way first, to see how much i will be using this bike. If i end up riding it more than my other bikes, I'll re-think the E line kit and the fancy instruments. For now, even a KDX quality headlight and tail light will get me the MVD registration. I can work out all the other details later, and fine tune it to my needs.
I really love having this forum to use as a resource for this project! I've learned a lot already. But still have a long way to go..... LOL
