Electronic Ignition System

Electronic Ignition Systems For Motorcycles

An electronic ignition system controls ignition triggering for the motorcycle engine it is designed to fit. The A-Premium selection includes units for selected Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley-Davidson and other motorcycle applications, along with a kit described with an ignition coil.

Match the motorcycle, engine and ignition arrangement to the selected part. A kit for one ignition design is not a universal replacement merely because another motorcycle also uses an electronic system.

Motorcycle Ignition Components And Timing

Depending on the motorcycle, an electronic ignition may replace a points-plate arrangement or work with a particular trigger and advance mechanism. The ignition controls when the coil produces a spark; the coil and spark plugs perform their own roles in the system.

Coil compatibility, wiring and timing need to follow the instructions for the actual kit and motorcycle. A motorcycle ignition kit should not be assumed to contain every coil, wire or spark plug needed for every repair.

Diagnosing A Motorcycle Ignition Problem

Keep the existing advance and mounting arrangement in mind when installing an ignition component. Timing setup and any additional parts depend on the specific system.
