Sorry, forgot to mention Westcountry Windings who checked my meter resistance readings of my stator over the phone and told me that they were probably ok and refered me to BVM. Thank you.

Lost earth without me realising on a sunday on my '03 250. Throttle stuck, open, pressed kill switch and then lost spark. Spent hours reading these forums and realised what had happened. Pretty certain that CDI had gone. Phoned BVM on thursday and they sent me CDI, Stator and coil (just incase) on special delivery. CDI fitted and spark back on friday. New earth fitted to coil as per instruction on this forum on saturday. Trial sunday, all well. Coil and stator returned to BVM on monday. Refund for unused parts tuesday! Fantastic service from BVM and thank you all for the info on this forum.

I bought some from Lampkins for my 250 and gave to my local shop to fit. They removed the metal bit before fitting. work great.

Did my first trial on this bike today (Old man white route). My scores were as good as they have ever been, not bad for a first outing. I have never experienced such traction. Smooth gradual power and, to be honest, I never thought "I wish I had more power" I'm really starting to look at this bike in a different light, if it wasn't for that bloody left hand kick start!

Thanks, a friend of mine suggested pouring petrol into the pipe and then setting it alight with a piece of lit paper! Any better suggestions? Thank you all

Thanks Dan, I checked on the ignition side. Can't quite make out a weight on the primary side from the diagrams but will keep looking. I'm sure the penny'll drop soon. My son's sherco and my old gasser ripped your arms out of your sockets and are great for jumping off something. This is beatifully smooth but there's such a delay when you crack the throttle open. Will check the ignition timing soon . Thanks you again for your assistance.

Recently bought an 03 rev 3 and have replaced main bearings, piston, plug, oil. Carb is totally clean. Bike starts first kick and runs like a watch. However, compared to my old gasgas and my son's sherco, this thing feels seriously down on power. It's as though the flywheel weight is fitted (it's not just checked) it's slow to rev compared to what I'm used to. Have fitted a fast action throttle which has helped a little. I also took the back exhaust box off and ran it without the air filter but no change. Is this how they are? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
