enFORCER Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Is anyone on here running a PVL ignition??? If so do you like it? Is it adjustable? How much did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badcompany Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'd stay away from it. I havent had any personal experience but from what i understand it has a flat timing curve, and the lack of flywheel hurts a 350 motor because it needs the torque. On bigger motors the biggest complaint ive heard is its hard to start. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMOONEY Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 i think the pvl is awesome big increase in throttle response, very adjustable compared to stock igntions, i ran on a +4mm on alky and it started fine. i paid 300 for mine new i think u can get one for around 475 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Motorsports Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I have ran them in the past and don't really care for them....I prefer a stock stator and lightend flywheel with a dyna programmable ignition. You can setup them up to put out way better performance than a pvl and without starting problems associated with a set timing....the dyna progressively adjusts timing according to rpm.

enFORCER Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 You guys saved me from making a $500 fu@k up.... I have a Dyna ignition now, but I have been having problems with it... I can only get the stock curve to work right... I might add I have a Ricky Stator, stator and adjustable timimg plate... I was also thinking about switching to a Vortex adjustable ignition.....

tats4life Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 i think i read this right...your running an adjustable timing plate with your dyna, and your stock curve is the only one that works correctly. If your using a timing plate it has to be set at zero, and than you use the dyna curves to add timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enFORCER Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I just got the Dyna a few months ago... And I did set my timing plate back to zero.. However the bike cuts out at hi rpm's on #1-3 timing curve... It will run fine on the #4 setting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Motorsports Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 you're better off just to unplug the switch and find someone that has the software to tune the ignition for your motor and the type of riding that you do.
