OLd Bike Ignition Options

[KTM47]

Most late model 125/250 ignitions can be adapted. Post 97 CR 250 has 12v output so you can run programmable ignitions. The ignition curves are what you should look at.

Thanks Lozza!

I'm thinking of replacing the PVL on my '83 CR480.  The CR480 ignition is on the right side, where as all the CR500's are on the left.  Would this cause a conflict because of rotation?  The companies listed only offer CR500 replacements.  Could an '80's KTM 500 replacement be adapted?

The Maico ignition is also on the right hand side, however the stator etc appears to be able to work rotating either way.  Everything except the rotor and backing plate to mount stator too are universal.

Email HPI with what you want they may have something they don't list or a set up that can use the standard rotor.

Id be very interested to hear what you did to make it work.
I cant imagine not needing the key

Woodruff key is for alignment at the factory and ham fisted apprentices at a dealer. The taper holds the flywheel on

Tahesian Red, another modern ignition option might be from a late model Husqvarna CR250 or WR360.
JD has programmable dual map ignitions for those bikes.
