Accent Ignition Fitted Today

Post by Roger Ackery »

Hi,received my Accent ignition last Wednesday from Germany...unfortunately I've been recovering from a chest infection & only managed to feel well enough to fit it today.Very straight forward replacement for the points & condensers,you just have to remove the plastic plug connectors to route the wires between the engine & swing arm...join up again,plug into your harness & set the timing.The immediate things I've noticed,is that the bike now idles better when cold & seems to be more responsive to the throttle,a longer run is required for an proper evaluation....20 kms not enough, I'll go out mid week for an extended run..I'm sure I'll notice a big difference.
Cheers,
Roger

Have got my 550 Accent unit, not quite as plug and play as the Kettle one was. It came with a Kettle style plug, don't know about others but the connectors for my points etc are bullets and the cable runs up the left hand side of the frame to near the battery. Not a great problem had to remove the plug fit bullets also had to pick the electrical supply up from the orange cable to the rear brake switch as the supplied cable isn't long enough to run to the indicator relay.

;) Hi Marty,yes everything still good with the Kettle,5,000km now since Accent fitted ! going extremely well..I fitted a Mottobat battery back in November which has helped with the starting side of things as well ;) "if" I ever have an issue with the Accent,I'll let it be known here :oops:
