The guy who sold me my bike wrote this in an email:
"It wasn't such a good starter before the coil work, (they are a sealed unit, but the right guy can work wonders), after no probs...in Japan they use a Nology lead, you might wanna google this..what this lead does is give an extra wicked spark, that's why their bikes start so well."
I googled and can't find anything. Anybody know anything about them? I'm happy with my starting: first or second kick when cold/cooled, and at worst four or five when it's being constantly started and stopped (mind you, a day of running around the shops yesterday left me with slightly achey foot come evening). Just interested in knowing more...

I'd be really interested in that too.
I currently have a bulky spark exciter half way along the ignition lead, and it seems to help.
Anyone running the iridium plugs also or do you find them too hot? I was reccomended not too as sometimes the hotter plugs can mask other tuning problems like running to rich etc??

Hey milkman, I put an iridium plug in the other week and have had a couple of long rides ,in excess of 300 km each, the plug seemed to help the starting and it runs beautifully , hot start is still a little problem but i have a problem with my fuel tap not turning off. I think/ know it floods slightly when hot and if i dont catch it in the first 3 kicks i can forget it for 1/2 an hour , im planning to fix the tap this weekend but the plug has given no problems and has made it run much better

when starting from hot, forget the hot start button, just give it a shit load of throttle when you kick it over. works every single time for me.

Me too - I open up the throttle (but don't move it around, just hold it open) and a kick or two seems to clear out the flood. Be ready to let off tho, when it catches!

Hi, Another little 'trick' is knowing that the SR usually catches on the very last movement of the kick lever...so always kick them right through to the bottom. Plus the lever is disconnected at the bottom as well and can't kick you back from there...not that any of mine ever have. XT/TTs, now that another matter! SR  |

My SR almost always starts on the second kick...hot or cold. But when it's just warm, maybe half an hour after riding, it can really be a pain. My bike has kicked back from time to time, and like Stew says an TT500 is more tricky. My boss years ago had a CanAm 500 single Enduro and it had a left-side kickstarter and I could NEVER get that thing to start with my left leg. I had to stand on the left side of the bike and kick with my right leg. Great bike though, the engine was a Rotax, made it Austria I think and the rest was built in Canada and the U.S. Indestructable

My little Ducati 250 single has a left side kickstart as well. I use my right leg for that one too. It kicks back now and then unless you are positive about the kick. My brother's is a 450...that takes more thought. They can kick back quite nastily...have no fear and all is OK. The Honda CR MXers were also left kick...the later ones such as the 450 and the 480. I used to start them from a milk crate and use my right leg...they were very unforgiving of the non-positive kicker...heh, heh... As I recall that model Can Am over here was named the Sonic... SR  |

Snowmobile, go kart, jet ski, or harley davidson single?

I take it that the first one refers to one for a Harley, and the other listings - according to cylinder number (some fools get around on more than one cylinder!) - refer to leads for any bike?
Anybody see any possible problems following from the use of these?
For those in my part of the world, I also see from that site that although there's no Australian distributor, there is a New Zealand one:
AUTOPIA LTD.
17 Hampton Place
Christchurch 5

dennis kirk also lists the nology spark plug wires in their metric catalog claiming a capicitor built into the wire for a hotter shorter duration spark.
