No taser on Mjolnir  (the BMW has been keeping me occupied)

but, the Triumph has been tasered for 2 years now......

I've been wondering about a higher output coil to stay with the recommended or even larger spark gap. That would be like a Taser.  Works good on cars.

just put a DC-DC booster on the supply and set it for 16 volts.

A side benefit is it'll start even if you are cranking hard and dropping the battery volts to 8 ......

  Weak anemic charging system and wiring harness.  Those yellow headlight blues at the end of a days riding.  Sputters and misfires , shitty idle and etc.   For performance....  Wider gap with higher compression and rich  AFR's, cleaner and better burn.  An improvement that can be felt.    Brilliant Gremlin.

Thanks Gremlin, so I just need a DC to DC booster to put on the supply side and set for 16v output. 
I'm seeing them on the internet for anywhere from $1.39 to $88.20. I'll have to look into that a little later.

First the piston and head job.  Work is in progress.

You will be pleased.

   I'll get you some pictures of that install Narada.... If I can get this damn Iphone to upload !    Some reason ,it is acting up on me today ?

    Alright,needed an up date.   Anyway, first a shot of a BPR6ES, .035 gap with the Taser after a hundred mile gaunt today. It's about perfect, and running slightly colder then the 5...obviously.    But either would do for ME. That's with Mid-range 91 octane.  You gentleman  running the higher cylinder pressure without the cams, will likely do better with a heat range in the 7-8 area.   And I think that is what Gremlin is running now ?    Anyway... that's the heat range I used WITHOUT cams and the same Cylinder pressure.

   Some shots of the "Taser" or voltage booster with the bridge rectifier.  I put it where my roller sensor USE to be.  I eliminated that when it crapped out, and "cheated" it out with a voltage divider.

   And don't be like me.  Follow Gremlins clear instructions about applying copious amounts of clear silicon around that Coil  " Toroid".   I did not !     LOL !   It will vibrate an intermittently short out on the case or cover, and blow a fuse..... and make you scratch your head for a while.      After my NOT following instructions, I coated that entire thing in clear silicone !  LOL !   And after at least a couple hundred miles, I'm very good.

  Ah...beats watching TV at night.

Sweeeeeet !!!   Mjolinar is getting CAMS  !!!

Questions WRT Taser:

* Is 3A @ 16V (48W) booster output power sufficient?  If not, what is the recommended power?

* Would an electrolytic capacitor on the +16 booster output improve ignition function?  If so, would you suggest size.

* The function of the KBPC5010 is to protect the +16 booster output circuit from ignition coil ringing -- correct?

I am going to use this circuit on my 2016 C5.  I was planning on installing an MSD MC-2 on my BMW R1100RT.  I prefer this solution -- smaller, cheaper and probably just as good performance.  Thanks for sharing.

awesome thread.!!
following it to the T.
thinking of copying it on the thunderbird 500(UCE500 open loop ECU )
Any idea, whats the wattage of the stock coil, and how much boosting of voltage, the coil can comfortably take with NGK iridium plugs .
i am in to Long distance continuous riding across the temperature range.
