Black Dragon PW80 Ignition System

[beaker80]

Installing this and have some questions.
Has any one else installed this?

1992 PW80.

Stock ignition removed.  Hint; buy the rotor tool from PWonly.  I did and it worked like a charm.

Stock Yamaha stator screws seem to be made of butter.  Got one out with an impact driver but the second one needed to be removed with a screw extraxtor (Mastercraft GraBIT). They are countersunk heads as well.

Stock stator screws are 5mm X 0.8.  There are no replacements in the kit.  The Black Dragon stator plate is not drilled for countersunk screws. There are 2 - 6mm X 1.0 bolts in the kit but obviously they will not fit the Yamaha and the holes in the stator plate are too small for these.  I will try and locally source 2 - 5mm X 0.8 socket head cap screws or bolts. Then align the rotor to the stator as per the instructions.

Keyway in the rotor is undersize.  I filed down the stock key to fit.  Didn't need much rework.

As it's Sunday now I'll have to wait till tomorrow when Bolts Plus opens to see if I can get needed hardware.

More updates to follow.

PWonly was no help. I had to locally source the missing hardware. After being disconnected once and then left on hold the guy who finally answered the phone was rude and not helpful at at. The only useful thing he said was the slot in the stator faces up (PW50 instruction with the part said face rear, which is physically impossible). I feel this may be a total waste of my money.

I also bought a new front fender/number plate kit that appears to be for a CRF70 and has none or very few common mounting points. I'll have to custom mount these.

The aluminum kick starter is missing the mounting bolt.

I do not recommend PWonly.
