Anybody running an aftermarket or rewound lighting coil in their KDX's? Anybody noticed a boost in the low end after install? Increased resistance to stalling?
*Edit*
For those who noticed an improvement can you post if it was a rewound (rickystator, etc) or a aftermarket (electrex/moose) lighting coil.
*Edit-2*
I've got a electrex/moose lighting coil on my 89 200.

my bike could easily loop from a dead start in first or second gear probably 3rd if I leaned back and tugged the bars too. I really don't need more bottom end torque so I've never experimented with it.
It's my guess the lighting coil somehow affects the ignition coil via induction? What is the theory behind this?

Something to that effect. Its one of those mods that fredette puts into all the KDX's he builds. Its almost like adding flywheel weight more than anything else, except it doesn't slow down the rev's at all. It just keeps the bike from stalling...its a poor mans autoclutch!skipro3 wrote:It's my guess the lighting coil somehow affects the ignition coil via induction? What is the theory behind this?

I have the Moose/Electrex coil
My UFO Twins are nice and bright, even at idle
Did it improve my low end?
I dunno... I put the flywheel weight on at the same time along with some other goodies....

Depending on where you get it the cost is around $80.parker72001 wrote:how much is that improved lighting coil, i tried to street legal mine but the horn only works if i rev the crap out of my engine and then hit the horn, then it goes from very high pitched to lower, also when i hit the back brake the light goes out, not good when riding at night, someone help
