Roadster XT500 Electronic Ignition with 12 Volt Lighting
Rex’s Roadster electronic ignition has a worldwide reputation for simplicity of fitting and performance. Roadster stator kits are ready assembled with wiring that plugs in to the standard Yamaha wiring loom. Roadster kits use 12 volt lighting to improve the headlamp brightness but do not give extra power for accessories. Capacitor discharge ignition starts easily, restoring easy starting – hot or cold. Fully electronic advance curve. Minimal wiring required. Installation guide is supplied as a free download, click on link above.
Fits ALL XT500 models with points ignition. Requires the points ignition model flywheel stamped 038000-2730
Rex’s system is the only one available that features an adjustable CDi unit for fine tuning without the need to remove the flywheel.
Built in house, our electronics and generator parts are tailored specially for the XT.
• Roadster Kit ≈ Brighter lighting through 12 volt supply – simple, plug in*, no fuss.
• Does away with contact breakers and mechanical advance unit.
• Easy starting hot or cold.
• Less maintenance.
The kit contains; CNC Billet stator fitted with 12 volt lighting coil, voltage regulator, electronic ignition unit, HT coil.
Available separately: Battery, bulbs, 12V horn and indicator relay, all in one box ‘accessory packs’ shown below.
Unsuitable for TT500 models as these have no wiring loom. Either a full XT loom can be used, alternately speak to our techs regarding a bare-bones electrical system.
Where we state ‘plug in wiring’, this requires that the standard wiring loom is in good order, complete with its original connectors. Owners are reminded that on old motorcycles it is common to find differences or things are not as expected. To cover this eventuality our stator kits come with the opposite connector included.
