2k-2/2k-3 Questions

Sounds like swapping the ignitions out on our 2 bikes will have the desired effect both of us are looking for.

If you put his ignition in you will lose the leads for the rain/sun switch.

Can you explain? Both of the bikes have dual mapping.

[SpeedyManiac]

No you won't. 05+ bikes all have the leads for the hi/low ignition (it's the CDI, not stator stuff) so you're fine.

Thanks Steve.

What do you think of my idea of switching the ignitions? Derik is looking for a little more snap, think this might help?

[SpeedyManiac]

It will definitely help. I've ridden both ignitions - both of my bikes have the 2k-2 right now and they definitely have lots of snap! They're still plenty tractable, but the 2k-2 revs a lot freer. That said, I'm adding a flywheel weight, and may go for the 2k-3 ignition when I get a 2010 bike. Been riding trials a lot, and want a more tractable motor.

Thanks again Steve, I think we'll give it a try.

The 2K-2 with the 12 - 14oz is perfect on a 250 in mixed woods terrain. I also have a 10oz and use it for sand sometimes. Revs nice and still hard to stall, I can lug it up trials like hills with minimal clutch. I match this with a G2 throttle and you can tune response to whatever you want.

What Ud Luz is refering to about loosing the map select is that the newer bikes use a different connector/harness system between the stator and CDI. Part of the harness is wired to the stator. So, if you use an older stator with a newer bike it will fit and work, but the harness will have to be adapted. No big deal.

But I'm guessing between an '08 and an '09 it would be plug and play?

[SpeedyManiac]

Correct, Frank. Your guy's ignitions will swap over just fine.

By the way, I tried a 10oz flywheel weight this weekend on my 250. Jury is still out. Yes, it helped hook up on the rocks with a S12, but I ran a trials tire during the race, so I think the weight was pointless.
