Never heard of these until Googling around this afternoon, but ordered one for installation down the road. Aside from this older post which appears to briefly discuss a possible earlier prototype of this (see post from OedeHB about in the middle) -https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/kawasakikhregister/kh250-and-s-series-aftermarket-ignition-system-and-t10915.html?sid=0927331a9381651589862694ada21f0b, has anyone else in north America had any experience with this system?

BTW, it came to $216.15 USD incl. shipping to my door in California.

Had one on my GT750 for 2 years. Easy installation and no issues with it thus far.

Good reviews... not CDI but transistorized using conventional coils, etc.

Instructions are a little hazy due to foreign translation but is a very nice unit,, I stuffed all the wiring including the extra power wire through the existing sheath, I wouldn’t recommend or do that again..
Only downfall is it fires all cylinders at the same time, so no adjustments to individual cylinders,, but really cleans things up...
Great unit for the money will install on any future bikes without hesitation!!!

I think you are wrong about firing all three at once. :?:

Okay, this clarifies exactly what this system consists of, basically a set-it-and-leave-it set-up replacing the wearable points, condensers and point cam.

:thumbup: Thanks to all for the info and responses. :clap:

A close photo of the rotor would answer that. If it has one magnet, for example, it doesn't fire all three at once. If it has three, it fires all at once.

I had one on my suzuki gt 750, very easy install and the timing was set to the center cylinder, it fired on each cylinder not all three at once. They are nice ignitions
