Elineaccessories high output lighting coils/flywheel weights

<< < (2/3) > >>

Paul:
The difference in cranks was a mis-understanding I had from Kawasaki. The difference is that the diameter of the flywheel hole is difference than the later flywheel. This would allow the flywheel to be closer - OR maybe farther away from the stator (didn't catch which it was) to acommodate the electronics behind it. Or something like that :lol:

Anyways, you don't owe me anything. I was glad to help and save you a phone call.

Well, thanks anyway :)

Looks like I will be on the lookout for a 94 or later flywheel and maybe also a stator then I might just uprate my electrical system so I can fit the more powerfull lighting coil.

Cheers

Good luck

Well only four years on  :roll: and I have managed to get a 99 flywheel sent over from one of Ebays US sellers.
$100 plus postage or just over 50 quid to me.

I have measured the outside diameter and its as near as dammit the same as my 90.

90 (110.89mm)
99 (111.04mm)
So thats not the problem but at the moment I have not removed the 90 flywheel to check the hole depth, I have measured (with a ruler as I couldn't get my verniers at the still attatched 90 flywheel) the width of the flywheels.

The 90 model one is as near as I can make out 40 mm wide and the 99 one is 37.23 mm wide, this measurement doesn't include the rivets cos is wouldn't have been an acurate measurement on the 90 one unless I could get my verniers at it.

From the difference in widths I assume that the 90 model flywheel doesn't give enough clearance for the lighting kit.

Its also might be possible that the 99 flywheel would allow the steahly flywheel weight to fit inder the Boyeson ignition cover but I have not fitted it yet to check that one out.

Also as mentioned I have not measured the flywheel hole yet as theres a nut in it at the moment.

I put a 94 flywheel on and the lighting coill went right on. I told e-line and baja designs what had to be done to put that coil on kx500 older than 94 I guess it went in one ear and out the other. I went threw hell figuring this out you would think that they would pass this info on to keep people from going threw what I had to go threw. :?

Brian isn't it?

How do you like the Eline coil? Is it any good? Its currently selling for ?459 dollars which works out at about 230 quid (I can't remember it being as good to buy things from the US as now) and I think I can live with the cost if the products really good.
Have you had any problems with it?

As a side note, whats going on with the US economy at the moment? Is it affecting you guys?
It must be great for export I suppose but the dollarrs really weak at the moment isn't it.

Scott.
