Ok, I've got a Ducati, so I know about ignition system issues...

Anwyay, I've bought regulator from this company with much success...

And suprise! That have a kit for "all" KTM 400's with additional wattage for lighting...has anyone tried to fit this to their Husaberg?

I've got an FE400 that almost stranded me in the middle of no where Sunday....I was on it hard in a backwoods trail when I ran up behind 1 adult and 3 twelve year olds, who wouldn't let me by....(narrow trail on top of it).

Anyway, after 1 minute of putting behind them, lagging in 2nd gear, I hear a big "pop" come from my bike...and it started slowing down...and died. They kept going, totally oblivious to my fate...lol...it sucked bad.

Anyway, I got it started again, it went 50 feet, and then died again. I checked vent lines, and all sort of silly crap...but finally surmised my ignition might be dying...and the bike felt really hot(it was 98 degrees Sunday here).

After I let it cool for about 15 minutes, it fired up again, and almost died, but I kept the gas on and got off the trail, onto a gravel road and hauled *** back to my trailer....

I was so tired I didn't pull the plug or anything, I guess I will, but right now I"m assuming it's my stator going south...

Feel free to ask questions....but I figured if I'm gonna have to replace it...I'd like to try to get something more robust-like the above kit...


Interestingly, they also sell CDI units...but don't have any listed for Berg's or KTMs.
 
That's a very interesting find you got there Nick! Could this be an answer to the SEM woes? That would be so cool if it fits up to the early Bergs.

I have many years experience with motoplate and sem. I love sem (sorry), but what i do is get them re-wound by someone that knows how to do it. they use the right wire and wrap in such a way it is much better than new. You need somone that knows them, remember sem have been on enduro huskies for, well 40 years at least. Betta lights in south australian I can recomend so even if you have to send from the states or east mongolia (which i nearly did) it is worth it....you do not want to be stuck again. I was stuck and well believe it or not shat myself when I was attacked by wild pigs, but that is another story just get a good ignition!!!!

Dear Fe600racer,
YOU cannot say "I was attacked by wild pigs but that is another story"
The "another story" time is now! 8O
 
Been there, done that, bought the shirt, pushed the bike... Electrex, or by there new name, Electrosport, is the only stator out there that's a bigger, steamier, pile of crap than the SEM...

... or did I sugar-coat that too much???
