Motorcycle Electronic Ignition Kits

Electronic ignition has long been recognized as a means of increasing a car or motorbike's efficiency. It does this simply by burning the fuel very much more effectively than is possible with any traditional contact breaker "points" system.

Contactless Electronic Ignition gives seven major advantages:

NewTronic Ignition System reduces fuel consumption
increases power
improved starting
is reliable
drastically reduces exhaust pollution
reduces maintenance
leads to smoother running.

Benefits

Fuel economy	By burning the petrol more completely the engine uses less fuel resulting in a significant increase in miles per gallon.
Increased power	Again as a direct result of more complete combustion, the engine produces more power for the same amount of fuel making your car or bike more responsive.
Better starting	The increased energy in the spark makes starting easier and gives "first time" starting almost every time.
Reliability	The unit gives a reliability, which is only obtainable through the latest solid state electronics.
Cleaner exhaust	Electronic ignition is fitted as standard in many countries that have stringent exhaust regulations.
Reduce maintenance	With no contacting moving parts to wear out, no points to replace, and timing that stays accurate for an indefinite period maintenance requirements are considerably reduced.
Smoother running	The accurate timing of the unit together with the complete elimination of points bounce means that an engine runs much more smoothly.

How It Works

(actual contents may vary depending upon the model of bike)

The contactless electronic ignition system uses an optical trigger to energize the coil. A slotted disc fitted, revolves between an infra-red light emitting diode and a photo-transistor. As the slots in the disc alternately expose and cover the light they activate the photo-transistor which in turn triggers the circuitry to switch the coil and produce a spark.

At high speeds, the disc system allows up to three times longer for the coil to charge than is available with a points system. This ensures a powerful spark even at high speed.

Another important feature of this system is that there are no contacting moving parts, so wear and tear are eliminated and the timing stays accurate for an indefinitely long period.

Simple to fit

The NewTronic ignition kit is easy to fit and comes with full, simple fitting instructions. First the old points and condenser are removed from the distributor and replaced by the adapter, disc and lamp. All that remains is to connect the unit to the coil, a 12 volt power supply and to earth.

Compare the output

(Click to view diagram.) The diagram clearly shows the advantage that can be gained from fitting a NewTronic Contactless Ignition system. The grey area shows just how much more energy the spark has even over correctly adjusted new points. The light blue areas shows how spark energy decreases as points become worn.

After 5,000 miles the frictional wear and points erosion will impair the timing and reduce the energy available to the spark. Contactless Ignition has no frictional losses and is switched faster at all speeds for ultimate efficiency.
