  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

87 430 wr ignitions

I am trying to decide on what ignition to buy. I currently have a motoplate. It is cracked and needs rebuilt, 240ish dollars with shipping. I know there is a lot of stuff out there, and I read a lot of mixed feedback on pvl. I am looking at a powerdynam or the external rotor type from HVA. Does anyone have any experience with the external rotor type from HVA? I am really after reliability vs Crazy power. I am a trail/ mountain terrain rider. the power dynamo is a lot more, and that would be ok if it is the better choice. Just trying to find somone that has expieriance with the HVA kits.
 
so the motoplat has no spark? the cracking alone is not grounds for replacement. they can run years like that.

he didn't say no spark, in his author thread he said weak

most mag ignitions have weak spark at kick, but with the cracking it's only a matter of time
all ignitions suffer the same problem, heat and vibration, the four strokes now oil cool them, most 2 strokes oddly have the pipe run right over the top and no way to vent pent up heat from the engine and exhaust
 
Do you just need the coil pack or the internal rotor. I have a cycle junkyard here in Phoenix that has a few motoplat and sem parts. I just found an SEM coil/cdi there for my 87 430 wr/cr. :banana:
 
The rotor mini plate was in bad shape. I have ordered a whole new system now though. Thanks much for the offer though. Rebuilding it was 90 pct of the cost of a whole new system from hva.
