Vance & Hines powerpak

[KATANAMANGLER]

Hello oil cooled bods. I was recently gifted a V&H powerpak ignition for my slabby race bike. ( thanks @Mole28) It has various ignition performance  settings and also allows you to set the rev limiter.

On inspection of the setting toggle switches under the cover  I noticed that the ignition is labelled for use on the 750 not the 1100. It's old technology so I can't  find any searchable serial number for cross reference but I am otherwise assuming it will not work with the1052. Can anyone confirm?

[vizman]

i would've thought yes

[vizman]

……..i still do.

[KATANAMANGLER]

"Yes" you confirm it won't work, as I had assumed or "yes" it will work?

[vizman]

correct

[vizman]

…..sorry, agreed Scott.

[vizman]

i can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work on a 1052/1127/750/600

I think he must have written the instructions for Petseal ultra (see General Chat)

if i read it with a comer after the word 'tea', i would prefer coffee......but otherwise my answer would be yes.

Can't see why it wouldn't work - there may be some fuckery with the actual curves suiting the 750 better, but if you can set the rev limit low enough it should be ok?

This tea or coffee............ any biscuits included ?

[KATANAMANGLER]

Coffee please.

If 750 and 1100 both have twin ignition pickups and you can set the rev limit it should be fine

[zedhead]

White with 2 please.

And yes, will work with 750 and/or lemon onion.

If you can't change the limiter point, just be careful...

 

(edit) and Billy's 1216cc motor in her Bandit has been running with a 600cc ECU (and thus higher rev limiter) since it was built, doing plentiful drag races and (fortunately) no limiter bash.

maryzero-1 running a 6-hunner' cdi/ecu too

[dupersunc]

I'v ealways run 750cdi on my 1100s with out a problem.   The race bike regurly sees 12,000rpm,  it's got no cam lobes left now...

[Guest YoshiJohnny]

It will work as long as you have the twin pick ups and rotor..

The 750s rev limit was 1100rpm I think and the 1100 is a bit less... I never worry about that crap though and change gear when it stops pulling... tachos are for wusses

[KATANAMANGLER]

Thanks for all the replies. What I'll do is put a blob of blue tack on the rev counter dial face to stop the needle at my chosen red line that way when the needle hits the blue tack the bike wont rev any higher. Sorted

[Guest YoshiJohnny]

stick a blue face on the seat...it will go VERY fast

[vizman]

aye, but version 2B or not 2B that is the question.

[vizman]

in California it' be fine....or a fine.

Aha here's the thing. Just went out to the garage and took a look at the V&H unit and it only has one pick up connection. The 1100 is a twin pick up. The CDI I have is in a bit of state open at one end and held together with cable ties so I may have to source a replacement.

Convert to 750 trigger setup?
