Don't suppose anybody has...

[1198]

Any igniter (cdi) units and a rectifier / regulator for an early 90s Monster / SS with the single phase alternator please?

[Diggs]

Nope, but in the same vein I don't suppose anybody has a coil for an 885 Speed Triple they don't need either?

These people do an aftermarket igniter which is significantly cheaper than the OEM version:

They also do a double version:

For a few quid more you can pick up a programmable dual unit from these people:

Are you sure it's the igniter and not the pickup though? The pickups are know to give problems. Test carefully before you spend.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for that. its not unfortunately. This is a pain because my bike is 'missing' when it gets hot. I've tested all 3 coils when cold and they are fine, so I want to get hold of one to substitute when hot until I find the duff one. I may have to put my hand in my pocket...

Hi Gareth,

Mine are

which aren't 'top of plug' coils unfortunately. I wonder if the advert is wrong or whether that type can actually be used on an 885?

Islander, thanks for the helpful searches.
The existing pick ups have a resistance of about 100 ohms at present, varying by about 20 ohms as the crank rotates. Would this seem ok do you suppose?

The alternator seems to be giving out a reasonable voltage but I think the rect' reg has packed up. It then fried the battery (boiled dry!) and, I suspect, the igniters.
It does spark on turn on but not when connected to the pickups...

Reg/rec failures are common on Monsters - easy to diagnose though. Do check the connectors for corrosion, especially if the side pods have been removed.

It's possible that one or both of the igniters have been damaged. Do you know anyone else with a Monster? If so you could swap them over one at a time to prove the fault.
