does NOT stall easier
i can actually steer through the woods, instead of bouncing in between trees
before the bike felt like i was carrings a 5l jerry can full on the back and front fender, now it feels like its gone

its easyer to start if i start it just after TDC (i always do it that way), but a bit harder if i just kick ( i never do that anyway) (yes i gaped the pulsar on both of them)
a little mellower off the bottom
doesnt feel like its making more power, but it is a lot faster to get it
tried stock timing and full advance, but i was on trails so i couldnt tell the difference between the two
i am using the 500 coil
the temps this weekend are way colder than the last so the mid/top power will be different because of that,
but i keep the pilot/ airscrew adjusted all the time so the easier starting was NOT from a jetting change
i noticed the raised trigger is around 1/4-1/8 inch off on the 250 compared to the 500, i think its throwing the timing out of wack, but then i dont know whats happening in the CDI so maybe it all balances out?
im guessing the 250 flywheel has half or less the inertia of the 500

the 250 CDI is 1/2 inch bigger than stock and the conectors are in the way so i had to "custom" mount it, i was in a rush and i know it looks like shit, but I had to get it done quick so i could ride

heres where the timing is off, but the CDI map maybe is difrent to compensate, but i dont think it is
the keyways are lined up as close as i can get them, but the 250 trigger is advanced compared to the 500, (dammit i shoulda tested full retarded instead of advance)

i used a mexican milling machine to machine the backing plate, it looks shitty but it works decent, i also used a o ring to center the backing plate, but it was too thick so i streched it over the chuck of my drill and used a file to adjust it to the right thickness. i will make a real spacer later out of aluminum or UHMW.
(a mexican milling machine is a die grinder bit in a cordless drill)

if you have a 99- 01 please tell me what works for you
ps i might be interested in selling my 3 month old stock setup (-the coil) for a $175canadian+shipping, or trading it for 03-07 250 setup, or better yet a pvl...(roosty)
