I have to filter thru heaps of threads that don't give me the answer, or simply advise "do a search".
I do agree with Ruby but have found this to be the nature of this whole forum. Multiple opinions (some will say blah is good & some will say it is bad) is what a forum is all about. It is up to us to take all this on board & form our own opinion.
To get a straight answer here about an IRK has been very elusive I have found and perhaps if someone did have the time to cut the crap and put all pluses & minuses into a single thread it would save alot of time.
Here is what I have learned from putting one in both my & my oldest son's bike:
1: you need a flywheel/gear puller (get em from Supercheap Auto for approx $35)
2: You need to drain the oil before you start.
3: It is really handy to have an impact driver to undo the 2 big phillips head bolts that hold the plate on.
4: To the best of my knowledge, a blue "Racing CDI" will NOT work with this thing (I have 2 for sale for a real cheap price
)
5: So far I have found that setting the pickup 2mm higher than center is a good place to start fine-tuning your new ignition timing.
6: your bike will rev more freely & take alot less time to rev up making it more like a 2-stroke bike - ours go fkn hard now
Hope this helps all of you who are thinking of doing this
