Hi guys, well its been a journey so far. I have almost completed my xs650 project. A month ago, however, I ended up having an ignition issue. I had mikes xs gen 1 ignition running on the bike for years now. This year I installed a PMA/lithium battery setup with a HHB rectifier. Everything was working fine until I lost spark, diagnosed the issue and found that the set screw to hold the chip board in place in the ignition rattled loose and detonated it. I purchased a new GEN 2 unit from Dime City and installed it. The bike ran but very funny. holding a high rev and backing off slowly, then the bike died. the bike is kick only. I had is running for all of 15 min then kapoot! Nothing and back to no spark. I checked the entire charging system and coil again and good at this point. I am thinking a back ignition unit out of the box. Any suggestions? Am I going nuts here?
