Title: KX 500 Lighting Coil
Post by: OrangeDawg on May 25, 2007, 08:05:06 AM: Anybody had the electrix 210 watt lighting coil go bad on them? I have one and it worked for about 30 minutes, then the flywheel cut through two of the three wires and the lights went out. Super bright 100 watt halogen when it worked...Anybody got a fix...? I installed per the instructiions. Came with nice billet coil side engine cover.

Do you mean the Eline one?
Not had one but I was asking about them a while ago and one of our members mentioned something about needing to shim it out to stop the flywheel damaging the wires.

I was asking about the Eline kit on THIS THREAD (http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,541.0.html)

Is this one the only choice? Has there been an update to fix the fitment issues? Also, what choices are there for head light assemblies?

Thanks again,

Rich.

As for light, I'm going to go with a 8" Baja Designs or something of that nature. I might end up with the HID if i have the money.

E- Line will not work with AJ's pipe. The second one I will run on the 01 Super Moto bike I am building.

Post by: PHX on January 22, 2009, 05:44:03 AM: Running into the same issues here too with not a lot of options for lighting my KX500. Has anybody ran the 75W moose coil?
Title: Re: KX 500 Lighting Coil
Post by: martinfan30 on January 22, 2009, 07:14:15 AM: I was wondering about that Moose 75w coil. I wonder if thats enough for a headlight, tail and brake. Not to mention turns are mandatory here.
