I thought I heard that HPD came out with a performance ignition for the 400. Has anybody else heard this? Any info? I couldnt find anything on their site (I get distracted very easily[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img])

 

You are correct,Polarisfreak talked to Darryl at HPD and he said they can't build them fast enough,i will be getting one as soon as i have some spare change.

 

What are the benifits?

 

is there any way you could retro fit it to a 250?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

It allows you to run a .030 gap on the race mod verses a .018. You can also advance the timing instead of retarding it. As anyone with a 400 know, if you have the spark plug cap off and crank it over, the spark won't even jump out of the cap. With the new ignition system it'll jump over one inch from the cap. It is a steal at less than 300 dollars, if you've priced an ignition system you know most are pretty high. It consists of a new coil, ignitor coil for the stator and cdi. Darrell said he hasn't got it on the dyno yet, but he had to add 4grams of weight to the primary clutch with the addition of the ignition system. Which if you know much about clutching that's a ton of weight, so the power gain has to be pretty significant. Ced's right they are selling faster than they can make them. Last I new he had 5 on a waiting list and he was suppose to have 25 ready this week!

 

Looks like Ill be warmin up the ole visa card... wait a minute, its never cooled down yet! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

So is this ignition system mainly designed for bikes that are highly modded for racing or will it work well for a typical trail setup?

Will I see any benefits from the new ignition if I have basic mods like a filter, v-force reeds, trail pipe, etc. or is gonna be a waste of money?

I am just curious and any help would be appreciated.
