HPI Install RD

[SUPERTUNE]

Finally got to the point where we know we are with timing scribe marks and ready to time this HPI up...

As you can see the timing at idle is very close to the 19*, just over 19* maybe 20*.
Then just under the 24* scribe at about mid range (aprox 3000-3500 rpms) then I rev it out and it actually swings below the 14* scribe at high rpms, so that's like a soft rev limit when the timing dumps out like that.
We'll know more once we get it out on the road.

I want to thank Chuck for taking such good care of my bike.  Looking forward to getting it back and actually riding it..

Here at the instructions for the gauge. your going to have to change the signal setting for the tach to read correctly.  I was able to get a good reading with the dyna S.  the hpi is probably putting out a different signal.

I had texted Mike as the tach is reading at 3000 not 1500 like the dyna at 1 signal pulse per crank rev and now the HPI is a wasted spark at 2 signal pulse per crank rev.



It sounds great!  Starts very easy for a magneto!

Because this is all new for me and most of you guys...my question is the charging system and the way I wired up the bike going to work well enough as it came?

Here's the wiring schematic that came with it.



With this being a magneto it's like the vape/powerdynomo setup but much smaller and lighter.
The magneto runs the ignition and then the charge coils puts out the ac to the rectifier/voltage regulator to charge DC to the battery.

I have it wired as DC and using a battery.

I think it's going to be ok, just barely. It is rated for 60w? Maybe if it gets re wired to 2 wave charge?
I have it setup on single wave as they come at the stator. The purple and yellow are jumpered together just as the diagram shows.


It's a bit long...

With the lights on... it's maintaining 12.6v
With them off it goes up to 13.2v
I might recheck them with my fluke meter.

that seems about right. its 60 w dc. drop an led tailight on it and you will have room to spare, but, it should be ok as it is.

not being familiar with the gauge, i used to have to set other digital gauges to a '4 cyl'. (automotive type bias).

tail light bulb is already an LED.

should be fine then. the amperage would be the issue, seems like its covered.  you're going to love that ign, it revs so fast.

Where did you get that regulator? Is it a reg/rec?

I had to order it separate from treatland... was around 70.00$$

Just spoke to Benji at treats today. He will be getting some more in a few weeks. Mentioned that its generating a lot of interest amongst this forum. He said that he is excited to hear that and will keep me posted on this.

i asked him to be a vendor, offered a section. he said not yet.

Internet down...on my phone right now.
Mike,
If you can post part #'s of this cdi and the extra rectifier / regulator would be great!

Treatland has some pretty good discounts too periodically with coupons they email you if you get on their mailing list. I joined a couple yrs ago when I purchased a couple of Honda MB5's but no longer have them (sold) but stayed on the mailing list. Can save you some good $ to use in other areas.
