i'm interested in maybe getting one of those also.... This post has been up here for a while, i guess no one has tried changing there coil yet. I know service honda has something like this on there site for the cr 500 and they say it makes the bike start and idle much better. plus makes the throttle responce way nicer and crisper... sounds like it is something i'm interested in... 70 bucks isn't to bad if it does what it say's it does!!!

If either of you guys buy and try that coil, please write a review.  I am sure others would like to know the benefits and also the disadvantages.
 My bike runs great, so I did not think I needed to modify the ignition, but if the gains are big, I would consider it.

I think Stewart tried one or was going to try one, as I recall he had some spark issues at high RPM. Maybe send him a PM
