Ignitions

I'd not heard of Silent Hektik before, but here's their website. http://www.silent-hektik.com/

Looks interesting. Mostly in German which is difficult for me. Maybe one of our German-speaking members can give a better impression of their product range than I can.

The installation instruction document (in english) for the ignition is very comprehensive, even has a cut-out timing disk.

Ignition comes with pickups, coils, spark plugs, HT leads, the works. Looks like a quality product. Not cheap though at around 500? and not made for Laverda (only BMW Ducati & Guzzi from what I can glean from the website). Could be adapted for Laverda by making up or modifying the mechanical fittings (pickup backing plate, trigger rotor)

Cheers,

Hi Cam,

if you have to modify the mechanical parts anyway, you better go with the ignitech I'd say. The box is 149?, with new coils, hall sensor and a laser-cut impulse-disk that you need to modify a bit to fit onto the original ignition system (ND engine or 750's), you pay a total of roughly 250? for the complete system, have it fully programmable and installation is dead easy. Since they once sent out a unit for a 120? engine with 2 cables put into the wrong place and having a screaming and claiming german customer on their phone-line, they do not send it ready-to-install on a 120? engine anymore, but they send you all the necessary parts and descriptions how to wire it correctly.  :-[ (wasn't me...)

They even give rebate if you purchase a 2nd or 3rd system, no matter if is the same or a different one. If you purchase several at a time, they make a special price. Very interesting if you make a collective buy with 2-3 other Laverdisti...  ;)

Their english is OK, even though not perfect. Support is very responsive and typically quiet good and helpful.
