    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone ever cracked open one of these little gems to see whats inside? Wee beasties I imagine, running around on miniature hamster wheels (I hope the miniature hamsters don't hear about this!)

Those little suckers are kind spendy...what gives? Is there platinum plated monkey poop in there or what?
 
Actually, I have cracked mine open (twice). The problem with mine is te ground wire connection on the circuit board. The only items on the bord are bunch of resistors, a few diodes, and a couple of jumper wires. Pretty simple to diagnose and repair if you are familiar at all with electronics. I don't understand why the high dollar value, given the quality of components.

If anyone has a board, make a copy on a copy machine, scan it and send it to me along with a color photo so I can match the diodes, resisters and such. I need to make one.

Unless of course, someone has one cheap?
 
is there some sort of programmed chip on it? I know on an s10 forum someone was trying to make copies of those "performance chips" they sell on ebay, really easy to make, just need the code and a chip flasher

What is the part number of the one you need, or what bike is if for? I happen to have one sitting here that fits some 850s, and some 1000s. Not sure about others.

It also has a few transistors. I'd assume that the cost probably comes from those, as they do tend to get pricey, depending on the specs.

mine is potted in epoxy, there is no way to look at the components. how much you want for the 47020 ingniter
 
You would think that these ignitors are made out of unobtainium for the money thay want. Electrically, they are really simple circuits.
