I found this electronic ignition kit but I'm kinda iffy about it but it does have our models and many of the xs650 models. What do you guys think? (to look at the models you have to click the price/buy button)

I wouldn't bother. I used to sell these kits years ago. I binned them as the warranty issues where too much to deal with and I got fed up with having to take the systems off customers bike and putting the orginal points back on. The 2 stroke kits were OK, but the 4 stroke kits were terrible. The had a nsaty plastic rotor that caused some of the trouble.

I got this from gigavolt in germany. He can be found on the xs400.de ( that's where I contacted him) and he speak english!!

he made me a kit which uses the points as a trigger only.

I had the version 3 but version 4 is out and was about £80, fitting is easy and mine looks oem.

wow thats amazing he made all that himself. How much of a difference does it make (starting/running/etc.)? Do you still have to replace/clean up the points every so often? I may have to give this guy a call.

I'd email him first!

the contacts will wear at the heal so you would need to lube and time them once in a while. I've had mine on for 2 years now no probs whatsoever.

bike pulls past redline, i think the points bounce gets ignored!

That set up would be 1000% better if he ditched the points. He's got all the hard stuff sorted!

I see where he said "email" but I'm not sure what to type in for the email. Do you know what his email is?
