KX500AF
demographic:
--- Quote from: AJ on January 22, 2007, 07:22:57 AM ---The current CR setup
is two yellows out ,on the lighting coil output side, AC.
its a *true 130 watts* (not split) system.
it is availible with either a DC regulator,(if you want it with a battery application) or AC regulator.
it works well in both applications
It runs with a DC reg and battery , on our CR500AFX..
(since the bike already has the batt,and batt box)
however I have run it AC, on a standard CR500AF, CR500R,
and it never dims with your somewhat typical 55wat headlight bulb even at idle, it is full bright..
of course with a higher wattage bulb that might change ...
havnt tested that yet.
but as mentioned you could always run the DC regulator ,
and a small batt if wanted , or needed?
on the CDI mapping ,
it is not progamable.. but i was thinking of having
it be swicthable, and offer two curves
the flywheel is 4 oz heavier
The KX system isnt designed yet, but would mimic the CR setup.

Hmmmm, as mine gets used as a roadbike I am finding this veeeery interesting.
The current lightling coil I have couldn't get a glow worm horny as its so crap.
How much is the CR setup selling for?
I assume that the KX setup would be much the same kind of money?
One more point, will all of this fit under the standard KX ignition (or even under the slightly smaller but much stronger Boyeson) cover or do we need a different (with a larger internal space) one like the E-line setup uses?
I would be using a DC regulator (like I already have fitted) cos I have a battery fitted as mine has a horn, indicators and lights.
If your wondering where I live that lets me get away with this, its in the UK and although we are not allowed many fun things, the government hasn't cottoned onto big two squeek motocrossers on the road yet so hasn't banned em yet.
Regards Scott.

Hmmmmmmmmm, an AF KX 500 kit. Cool, very cool idea! :-D :-D :-D
AJ:
kits-
i do not currentkly make the CR 500AF's that way..
(but we will build the CR/AF bike *here* with your CR500 engine ,
and you then get that discount)
but a kit might be something we offer in the future or on the
KX / AF.. not sure yet.
on the lighting stuff..
check details here for the CR stuff?
www.servicehonda.com
The CR set up sells for
499 with AC regulator
566 with DC regulator.
thats includes a stator/ rotor/ regulator /CDI..
far less expensive than the OEM stock stuff,
and has the added benefit of 130 watts of lighting output..
it fits under the CR ignition cover just like OEM..
we (and electrosport) went out of our way to ensure it was a direct replacement ssystem.
we would do the same on the KX stuff,
if i go down that route,.,
(and i plan to, with a KX500AFX bein ghthe next logical step
(i hope) =)
thanks for all the feedback guys, i appreciate it!
gowen:
AJ, thanks for taking time to answere questions we have. I know you are busy, but it means alot to us and says alot about Service Honda.
Any thoughts about a digital PVL ignition as a custom option for us duners and sand/ice/drag racers?
AJ:
as mentioned ,
i as thinking of offering a couple curves(switchable)
(and tgis would be at basically the same price.. under OEMS stuff)
a truly rider programable CDI is something we have thought about,
but obviuosly its retail would be more.
not sure if it will be offered , but at some point its difinantely a possibilty.
