Title: KX500 LIGHTING
Post by: JBKX on March 01, 2003, 02:18:20 AM

I HAVE A 1986 KX 500 AND I'M WANTING TO PUT A LIGHTING COIL ON IT.  IHAVE TALKED TO RICKY STATOR AND HE SAYS THEY DON'T MAKE A LIGHTING COIL FOR THE 86.  TEAM GREEN MATED A TECATE 3 WHEELER STATOR, FLYWHEEL AND CDI ONTO THE KX500 TO RACE BAJA.  DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THEY DID IT?  I HAVE TRIED THE TECATE FLYWHEEL ON MY CRANK AND THE TAPER DOESN'T SEEM THE SAME.  THE FLYWHEEL BOTTOMS OUT ON THE ENGINE CASE.  ANY INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

i have several tecate stator and flywheels. they are junk. i put a kx250 ignition on my tecate. the tecate magnets are glued on and break off. i bet the vibration on a kx500 will destroy them in no time. i also have 86kx500 so i hope you figure out a solution, i want lights too.  8)
