Lighting coil

John:
I know of a guy who managed to fit an electic starter to his Kawasaki. He worked at Kawasaki though and had "free" access to all of their spairparts. It can be done...

What about an instruction how to convert a KX500 to a trike?

Seriously Rick, thanks for the effort you put in. I admire your stamina and stubbordnes! You do whatever I think about doing (read which I did) and I am impressed.

Thanks,

//John

Rick:
Actaully, I've given electric start some thought.  All we need is a ring gear on the rotor that will engage a small starter probably in front of the motor.  When I get old  :wink: , I will have to start giving this some thought.  For now, I just rely on my right foot...

Parts needed -

Yamaha RXS100 rectifer diode,Moose Voltpack regulator,325 turns of 0.75mm magnet wire wound around a Suzuki X7 lighting coil core,and
a small 1.3A/Hour sealed battery (fits in airbox)

This core has the exact same hole pattern as a kx500 core but takes more windings,so you can use your stator plate to make a template to mount the second core,this has to be fairly exact as you only have about 1mm either way between the inner and outer parts of the flywheel,or kiss goodbye to the lighting coil its just taken an hour to wind.

One end of the coil wire is bolted to the fixings for the core,the other is extended out with flexible cable to the regulator/rectifier.

The fixings for the coil are M4 bolts tapped in to the stator plate from behind,and nuts on the front to space the coil off the plate.The bolt heads on the rear may need filling down so the stator plate fits properly

So how many watts do you get out of this set up?You get the parts from a dealer or salvage yard?
