Ignitech module dead!

[monsta]

never saw this thread before...

I've had some drama's with mine. I've done a couple of track days on hot days with  the Ignitech fitted.
The bike has developed a miss so I've changed it out to the modules and all went well again.
Fitted Ignitech again after getting home and bike cool and all good.
Since its happed twice on hot days (while floggin the crap outa the bike), I can only guess its heat sensitive...

Think it mattered where you had yours located? (Where did you place your units?)

Maybe...
It was mounted where the modules were, behind the arbox.  Didn't get a lot of air flow..
I've since put pod filters on so the airflow has improved, but theres been no more flogging it on trackdays on hot days to say if it helps.

Asked Jan at Ignitech if they`ve had any heat/vibrations realated reliability issues, his reply:
"Our ignition make only a litle warm. It could work in heat but it is better not to do it.
We advice don't give ignition near to hort parts."

So mounting in a place w a little air cooling is adviced.

I`ve had mine in a test position f over 3 years (... )  now, on top of battery....

Wonder if moving it, somehow, to under the seat would work well. I've seen the rectifier/regulator moved there (on Supersports? Can't remember).

Thanks for the info greenmonster.   
As I say, its in a better position now, should get better airflow.




(battery leads are coming!)

What coils are you running?

[monsta]

dyna coils,miniture series.

I had not seen those before, I've got the "mean green" ones. I did, recently spy these at the Kaemna.de site:

2.8 ohm (vs. 3 ohm) RED coils:



They are double exit, however. I suppose they are intended for dual-spark coverted carb'ed bikes.

Not good.
It needs cooling.

Right. Same with the rectifier. The example I'm thinking of is where the regulator/rectifier is mounted in the open-air area above the rear wheel, not between the seat and undertail area. The supersport or whatever the bike was I was thinking about had it mounted essentially on the other side of the license plate.

Kind of the same thinking as the bikes that have their oil cooler / radiator in that area. (Can't think of it either, so consumed with school work).
