Hi,
I have just finished re-wiring my Camier SOS racer. It has an XT500 engine that had been fitted with a 12volt SR alternator for the road.
I looked at modifying the system to fire the plug only as I'm setting it up for the track, however it quickly became apparent that it would be better to source a 6 volt XT/TT maggie.
I ended up with a TT magneto. Nice and simple. I just finished wiring it up and then I checked the spark...good spark, excellent!
I have to remove the 'aftermarket' 12 volt coil and put a new 6 volt coil in that I had lying around as a spare for my Ducati 250.
Normally I'd look around for a genuine TT item. But this one is new and goes straight into where the 12 volt coil was.
To check the spark I used an old silicone lead from a car that I had hanging around.
Has anyone made up a push in type copper cored lead to go into a aftermarket coil, with a car type plug lead fitting? I'd prefer to run a copper cored lead with a proper plug cap if possible.
I hate cars. Still without them how would you tow your bike around?
