REVIEWS - Kitaco Super Coil - by
West Anderson
If
you’ve done just about everything you can think of to
your bike and are still looking for that little extra something,
you should check out the Kitaco Super Coil. I just installed
one on my bike and gave it a good test run, and it's pretty
amazing how something so simple can make a nice difference.
Before
I installed it, my bike wasn’t revving quite as fast
as I liked and could have used a little more pull through
the power band and going through the gears. Also, according
to my plug readings, it was a little on the rich side, meaning
I was getting a good amount of fuel in the combustion chamber
but just couldn’t burn it all.
After
installing the Super Coil, I instantly noticed my bike had
a crisper throttle response and revved up much quicker. After
some more riding, I noticed further that the bike definitely
has more pull through the rpm’s and seems to have more
over rev power so it pulls longer. After some hard riding,
I decided to pull the plug and see how it looked. As advertised
the coil makes a stronger bigger spark and did burn more fuel.
My plug color had changed from a darker black, to a much nicer
tanish white which means that it is right on the money now
and getting the most out of the fuel its pulling in.
For
$54 from www.minibikeoutlet.com,
the cheapest I’ve found it, this is certainly a nice
addition to that race motor where your trying to squeeze out
that last ounce of power.
About
the Author: West Anderson - I have been riding
dirtbikes since I was 6 years old and have never been off
a bike since. I got into 50's about 2 years ago when I acquired
a 1977 Z50 from a storage garage. Had the Z for about a year
but I really wanted a xr50 bad once I started seeing trick
ones riding around and I found out more about racing. So I
sold my Z and found a used 2002 stock xr50. I rode stock for
a couple of months. Meanwhile, I became a member of PlanetMinis
and started learning everything I could about 50's and all
of the aftermarket companies and parts available at the best
prices. I now have vast knowledge of 50's, what works, what
doesn't, and can pretty much diagnose any problem that you
may come across. Currently, my bike has a large amount of
aftermarket parts on it and about the only things left stock
are the frame, hubs, engine cases, crank, and tranny. I am
starting to race my 50 as much as possible. Hitting as many
local races here in Florida as I can, and I have done very
well in my first couple of races. I ride and practice on it
everyday and am always trying to find ways to run it into
a corner harder and lean it into a rut further just to gain
that edge.
