Title: Ignitor wanted
Post by: MikeScoot on May 04, 2020, 09:59:44 PM
Looking for an xz550 ignitor and hoping someone has one they can sell, swap or donate to me.

I have most parts available here from a spare bike I got a good engine from, minus;
Good engine (the remaining engine has almozt no compression in rear pot)
Tank has unique internally lodged filler cap and is customised with big ding and a generous amount of rust thrown in FREE.
Ignitor is a rigged-up two part nightmare I don't plan to bother working out (unless I get really desperate)
No underseat panels

Also have two pairs of aftermarket exhaust cans and an ultra daggy aftermarket screen setup in good condition.
Also one of those infernal Gearsac rack shjtters.

Cheers,
Mike

 Have just ordered one online from Aliexpress.

I think you will be the first to try one of those aliexpress ignitors.  Please report back on how you find it.
Do you have a pic of your exhausts? I wonder what AUS->NZ shipping would be like.

  No worries. I'll report back once it's here and hooked up.

  Re. Exhaust cans; I'll dig 'em out and take a couple of pics tomorrow. I'll get pics of the rear pipe sections they fit onto while I'm at it. If you like the look of them I'll run down the road and get a figure on postage to the Eastern Frontier.

  Didn't get 'em photographed today, sorry. Got carried away with a rather important 'puter upgrade. Should be able to get 'em done and up tomorrow. Will staple to note to forehead now.

These are the mufflers. In pretty bad condition. The worst bits are facing up.
Inside diameter on the entry ends is 55mm.
They are all pretty much straight-through as the guts are well disintegrated.

Thanks.  A bit bogan for me though


If anyone else has some NICE exhaust pipes - let me know I'm in the market

Yeah, they were the first things I ripped off the bikes when I got 'em.
But you asked, so I sent the photo.
