RZ500 lightweight flywheel conversion

#1 Post by geosot » Mon Sep 20, 2010 9:59 am

EDITED 20.11.2010

Lightweight generator, i.e. flywheel, windings (stator) and pick up coils (all from RGV250 VJ22), adapter plate from billet 7075 aluminum, Ignitech DC-CDI.

The generator supports lights and all electrical "appliances" of a road bike.

Kit works only with a DC-CDI; the only adjustable (via serial or USB port & available from the shelf) DC-CDI that I know is Ignitech.

The flywheel can be machined upon request to save some more weight.

The weight saving is about 50-60% of rotating mass. A plus is the extra space for bigger carbs.

Fitting of the kit requires a minimum of mechanical and electrical knowledge and a slight modification of wiring terminals.

Servo (dual stage) can be supplied upon request with the kit.

Race wiring (supports battery, on off switch, PV controller & servo, CDI) can be supplied upon request with the kit.

Yes

I suppose yes, since PDCI-20V is for coils with primary resistance 0.3-0.6 Ohm

NO BUT

Market offers a plethora of coils with primary resistance 0.3-0.6 Ohm at prices from 100 US $ the set (complete with wires/caps). Why one has to stick with a pair of 25 year old coils?
