Back in the olden days you would use Piranha or Boyer but these don’t come up very often.

I believe that electronic ignition from the LTD models (not G) can be fitted with a small amount of rewiring but I have never done that.

Hi guys,

I decided to make myself a X-mas present 😉
It is a digital ignition set from Sachse.
288,- Euros plus shipping.

https://www.elektronik-sachse.de/shopsystem/product_info.php?language=en&info=p45_digitale-zuendung-zdg3–kawasaki-kz750b1-twin-.html

Installation instruction as a link in the very bottom of that page.

It is not free programable, but one can select from 9 preset ignition curves.

Interesting is that the ignition timing is always set to 0° for crankshaft rotation from 0 to 400rpm. That should make it very easy to kickstart the engine without the risk of “backfire” 😉

In addition I picked the recommended Dyna ignition coil.

Will test that stuff and report as soon as it is installed.

Cheers, Michael
