Lighting coil

[computerguy50]

Just read Indawoods "best mods sticky" he mentions a stronger lighting coil will excite/boost the bike performance slightly. Everybody agree? Does it help low RPM or high RPM or everywhere?

Does anyone have a link to the recomended one?

Its so you can run a better headlight. The upgrade is sort of in the name..

I do understand the main purpose would be to support higher wattage lighting, but it read like there was a benefit to the engine ignition too. Sounds like you disagree.

I also understood from those guys that it did in fact improve performance slightly. I wasn't clear on if it was a flywheel effect or an ignition effect.

Look at some old posts from canyoncarvr, I think he investigated it pretty thoroughly.

i don't think it's going to affect the ignition. the ignition uses it's own dedicated pick-up coil.

i have a steahly 65w stator with an stock headlight and it makes it much brighter, as it's supplying the headlight with the full rated wattage unlike the stock stator. i was slightly brighter than my buddy's baja designs equipped xr650

When I made my 100W stator, I noticed a more "crisp" bottom end. I have no evidence that quantifies this other than my "butt dyno" but I did notice a small difference.

i dont suppose you'd wanna make me one would you ?

I wouldn't mind at all. You'd have to sebd me your stock coil, and I could rewind it for you.

sweet
ill see if i can find an extra stocker to send your way so i wont have any downtime and you dont have any pressure to get it all done :)

what is the price of your services?

[Slick_Nick]

I'd say whatever the wire costs, say $60 should be sufficient to cover my time.
