Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

Well the Ninja pump is really nice but I can't figure out a way to get it in the tank and positioned correctly even if I cut a hole :? So I just bought an LTR 450 pump. I guess I'll be following MxRob to the letter. Why blaze a trail when there's a freeway already :lol: I found a potted SS target ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

Yeah I'll have to do something like you for the cam. My cam sprockets are center bolted so I don't have an offset bolt for a target. Perhaps it would be a cleaner signal if I mounted a magnet on the cam? Regards the Ninja fuel pump pressure: I got the numbers off a Ninja forum so I'll need to verify ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

Whoops :shock: I read the manual closer and realize I need a one tooth cam sensor :RTFM: and a 36-0 crank wheel just like Rob originally envisioned. Either that or knock a tooth off the cam wheel and use that for both. Hmmmmm, back to the drawing board. That knocked off cam tooth is looking better ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

All: I just bought a Ninja fuel pump off Ebay. It's an in-tank unit so I'll have to see whether I can get it in there but the Ninja doesn't produce any more juice that the KLR so powering it shouldn't be a problem and it has a fuel pressure regulator in it (45-50 psi). Based on what you guys are ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

MXRob: The KLR also generates 200 watts stock but I have a 285 stator on mine. There used to be a 400 watt aftermarket stator available but it had reliability problems so I don't know whether it's still out there. I'll check and see what the Harley pump pulls. I don't know about room for reading the ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

MXRob: I've been riding this summer and cogitating on what I need to do for this project. I bought a good rotor off ebay. I've already got the TB with all the sensors. I haven't decided on a pump yet but I'm leaning toward a Harley pump. They're simple, in tank pumps with integral pressure regulator ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

Whoops! I got a look at a 2007 rotor and, except for one land (tooth) it's smooth as a baby's butt. :?
I could press a ring on and weld it or , the 2008 and up rotors appear to have a ridge around the middle that might be machinable if that rotor will fit on my bike. The basic engine is the same so ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

MXrob:
My KLR 650 is actually a big head 705 with the carb tuned to the max and it runs beautifully. The only reason I'm thinking MSquirt is because it's a farkle I don't have. Accordingly it makes no sense to go fuel only. All or nothing is my motto.
My other motto is, 'The smartest people copy ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

Mxrob: I checked out the thumper link and it appears you've worked through almost everything I'll need to do. I looked at all the pics I could find and it does appear the KLR650 pickup coil senses lands on the rotor :-( I need to understand it all a little better :RTFM: but I'll probably just follow ...

Re: KLR 650 w/Ignition Project

dontz125: I don't think my sensor is reading teeth but I'll look into it closer. I'm 'watching' that very fuel pump although the Ltr 450 fuel pumps have been known to have some reliability problems :-(
