This would of saved me 3 months of waiting for backordered advanced rod and other components in peak riding season from xs 650 direct when my reg/rec and rotor failed. Keep up the R&D for these bikes, they are well worth it.
This does not change the performance of the Ultimate High Output. It is just a replacement for the mechanical advancer.
So what do you suggest, would it be wiser to wait? I'm not in a rush the only thing I'm more worried about it's availability to Canada(Xs650Direct) I'm having hard time finding parts already nothing's in stock.Pete78,
Both. Initially it is an add on upgrade to existing PAMCO's. Eventually it will be a new PAMCO with a simpler sensor as the transistor is duplicated in the advancer, but the add on version will still be offered.

The current version will still be the most cost effective as you do not have to buy any advancer if yours is working OK. The new version will cost more than the current version but not as much as buying the current version with a new mechanical advancer.
The purpose of the electronic advancer is to replace the OEM advancer if it has seen better days, the springs are bad or you just would prefer an electronic advancer, which many people do. For the '80 to '83 conversions, it is a better alternative than the mechanical advancer, and being as you have to buy an advancer anyway, might as well buy an electronic advancer.
