The unit must be returned with evidence of purchase, with a detailed description of the problem. The warranty will not apply if the product has been installed incorrectly, repaired or damaged by modification, misuse or accident. Using these ignitions with bikes that have known charging issues, bad coils, or other sub-standard electrical systems also voids any and all warranties.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.

Install the new rotor in place of the old with the locating pin in the slot of the rotor. Install your new ignition by centering the unit in place of the points plate and lightly fastening it into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e3. Hook up all wires for the ignition: Yellow into left side coil (orange dual female), blue into right side coil (gray dual female).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e4. Disconnect red lead from the left coil where it plugs into the wiring harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e5. Plug the red power wire (coming from the left coil) into the female \"pig tail\" coupler on the wire branching from the ignition. This is a black wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e6. Plug the male coupler of this same wire (coming from the ignition) into the red female coupler coming from the wiring harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDo not attempt to set your timing using a dynamic timing light. It will damage the triggers if the ignition plate is loose\/loosened while the bike is running. This will cause a ground failure that will short the capacitors inside the triggers. A dynamic timing light may be used to check advance only. If adjustment is necessary, turn power off before making any adjustments or loosening the screws that hold the ignition plate on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1. With the power still off, connect a test light into the now vacant side of the dual female coupler coming from the left coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e2. Ground the other side of test light to motor or unpainted surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e3. Check to ensure the magnet on the rotor is not facing either pick up before turning power on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e4. Turn the power on. Note: At this point, you will see a light come on - this is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e5. Rotate the rotor that's on the end of a crank shaft with a wrench to check the timing. The rotor has one timing mark. Do NOT turn the bolt on the end of the cam shaft to do this. The test light will stay on until just before the magnet reaches the trigger on the ignition. Then, the light will go off or very dim. When the light comes on bright again, check the position of your rotor mark in comparison to the stator marks. The stock stator for ‘79 and earlier has four marks. The middle marks with the letter F in between is the point at which you should set your timing on both cylinders. The light should come on in between these two marks. If adjustment is necessary, rotate the entire ignition plate to set the timing for the left side (yellow wire) pick up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e6. Check the timing for the right side (blue wire) pick up using the same method. The test light now plugs into the right side, and the light should come on in between the same marks. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the pick up with the provided allen wrench and carefully reposition it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e7. After your timing is set, carefully reinstall your points cover. If it does not seem to be fitting well, don't force it. Breaking the trigger cover will compromise the integrity of the unit and void any warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rawhide Cycles","offers":[{"title":"1969-1979 XS650 2 coil ignition","offer_id":32444569616465,"sku":"","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1980-1985 XS650 1 coil ignition","offer_id":32444569649233,"sku":"","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1969-1969 XS650 2 coil ignition w\/ advancer and rod","offer_id":41616850026687,"sku":"","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1980-1985 XS650 1 coil ignition w\/ advancer and rod","offer_id":41616850059455,"sku":"","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/6834\/products\/CED4D6F4-CEAB-4C81-A04A-EAB9669C5193.png?v=1606717604","url":"https:\/\/rawhidecyclesusa.com\/products\/electronic-ignition-for-yamaha-xs650-1970-1984","provider":"Rawhide Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
