Description
The Compass system for 1980-96 BMW twin cylinder with the ‘Ignition In Can’ system, delivering precise timing, easy starting, improved throttle response and an accurate advance curve. Does away with the mecanchical advance mechnism.
This Compass ignition comes with brackets to fit the stator in your ‘bean can’ and instructions for reassembling your ignition ‘bean can’ housing.
Not included is a 12V HT coil, but the correct typre is shown below. The orginal Bosch coils are not compatible and must not be used.
The control box is completely new and has some unique features:
- Reverse polarity protected
- Spike protected to hundreds of volts
- Continuous overvoltage protected
- Pickup inputs protected
There are no active components inside the pickup unit and it’s potted with a flexible sealant to cushion the internals during thermal cycling.
Tri-Spark call this system the Compass because the triggering rotor has two points like a compass. It’s this unique shape of the Compass rotor and the accurate CNC machining process that gives the required timing stability and accuracy you would expect from electronic ignition.
Note: This system suits 1980-96 era bikes using the ‘ignition in the can’ or ‘bean can’ style ignition units at the front of the engine. If you don’t have a can type ignition on the front of your engine you will need to use the CS-0060 kit for 1970’s engines.
An ignition system for people who love to ride their BMW!
