RGP750:
Thanks Johhny
Instructions are pretty poor at the least.

Hi Rich,
               I put one on my 500k3 because
Oem points are so expensive together with how long it takes to set them up.
20 mins fit and forget.

Seems a bit strange to me putting all those vulnerable electronic components in an environment like that.
Can't see the rating on that electrolytic cap but that will be the first thing to go if it gets too hot and dry's out :o

bobv7:
I fitted mine a while ago but it doesn't seem to have much built in adjustment, in fact it's rotated round as far as it will go but the bike seems to run fine. :-\

MrDavo:
Luddite here, I stick to old fashioned clockwork points, because if I understand how something works I might be able to fix it when it breaks.

As far as I'm concerned, electronics work or they don't, the only fix is a new unit. Which system is more prone to break down in the first place is the debatable bit - no wearing moving parts versus unnecessary complexity. Pre unit BSA twins, for example, you can set the timing with a pencil and a fag paper - you mark the pencil with the required BTDC measurement when it is in the spark plug hole and set the magneto so it lets go of the fag paper at that point.
