CR250m PVL IGN

[smed]

I am thinking of  buying a PVL ign for my CR250m,For & against?all opinions gratefully accepted thanks Smed

Smed - I had a PVL on my CR250 - extrememly reliable.  A number of times the guys with just points had the usual points problems.  I would recommend it.  Also if you go down that route check out these guys - www.rexcauntracing.com - in the UK so maybe don't have a price advantage now but they also carry parts which others don't do.

best of luck

Why not run a CR125 ignition? I have one on mine and it was cheaper than a PVL .

[smed]

Tell me more tee bone,I dont ride my 125m anymore so i could take it off and use it on the 250!does it fit straight on or are mods needed? & how does it perform as the standard 250 has no advance mechanism where the 125 has electronic advance,I have noted the pvl has no advance either.

The 125 ignition fits straight on - same taper on the crank - and it makes it way easier to start. You'll need to make brackets for the coil and CDI unit, but other than that it's a good conversion, giving a much better spark.
Do it, smed - you have nothing to lose!

O.K. man, cheers for the info!

I was going to try and adapt a YZ80 ignition, but after talking with BigK, went the Honda route - I'm glad I did as there was less stuffing about with differing tapers etc. Thanks BigK!
