Fits:
Nortons, Triumphs and BSA classic motorcycles
What is included in kit 2 :
-
Hall effect circuit board with, signal conditioning, voltage filtering, two LEDs to assist with setting up the base timing.
-
2 x Hall Effect trigger magnets for installation in your rotor.
-
Ignitech Hall Effect version of TCIP4 (This special version does not require an interface circuit to work with this kit)
-
Full instructions for installation
-
Copy of FastBikeGear Ignitech manual
What is not included:
-
Aluminium rotor ((You will need to machine this - we will provide you with the CAD file.)
-
Wiring (Wiring is supplied with your Ignitech ignition unit)
Can be used with any ignition coils and spark plug leads but for best performance we recommend using our FBG Ignitech-matched ignition coils and our UltraRace spark 8mm Silicon spark plug leads.
We have a partner that can supply you with both of the above item or alternatively we can provide you with the CAD files to machine your own.
This kit can be used with and with the FastBikeGear Hall Effect Ignitech unit or a standard Ignitech TCIP4 with a four component interface circuit that you can make for a less than $5.
Can be used with any ignition coils and spark plug leads but for best performance we recommend using our Plasma Pulse Ignitech matched ignition coils and our UltraRace spark 8mm Silicon spark plug leads.
Why upgrade to a Hall Effect ignition trigger system?
There are two key reasons.
Reason one is to get rid of the wasted spark and give the primary current up to twice as long to build to a maximum in the primary windings of the ignition coils. To get rid of a wasted spark you usually need to move from a crank mounted pickup system to a cam mounted pick up system.
Unfortunately Inductive pickups output voltage is very dependent on the speed the ferrous lobe passes the inductive pick up.
Cams rotate at half the speed and the cam driven trigger rotors are less than half the diameter of the flywheel. Both of these factors conspire to ensure that the speed that the ferrous lobe passes the pickup up is relatively slow to crank mounted systems. Which means you sometimes get a weak and erratic ignition system if you try to operate inductive pickup on a cam driven system.
Reason two is the true timing of the ignition pulses changes with changes in speed due to the hysteresis inherent in inductive pickups. This means that the degrees of advance you set in your system does not correspond with what you actually get at all revs.
NONE of the above are issues with hall effect pickups. Hall Effect pickups can give you a very precise (accurate) and clean signal from less than 1 rpm to more than 20,000 rpm.
Most (all?) modern European cars and modern bikes hence use hall effect cam driven pickups.
