Hi. Just was wondering if I need The rectifier and capasitor on a 98 250 ignition ass. or can i take them off with no side efx its for a 99 500

I could not find any info on this. i suspect it is to power the stock carb solinoid and im not using that carb..

I take it nobody has info on this subject...This is my second post I have put on here with no responce!!!

Patience grasshoppa. It's only been 1 day. If a week goes by with no response, then get more vocal.

Sorry. I was wondering if I can remove the rectifer and capacitor off the 250 module. Thanks

I will have to relocate the module there is no room where the original one was. So i will have to add wirring to the harness Its a steely.

Has some one done this?? Let me Know. Thanks

Lots of people have modified the wiring harness to relocate the cdi and parts.

Soldier and heatshrink. I like to use the heat shrink with the adhesive sealant that seals as it shrinks.

The air box is a popular choice for location.

The powerjet circuit can also be used to power LED lights if you decided to.

I have Eline on it now so I would like to just remove rectifier and capasitor if it will not hurt the ig module..Less bulk in the air box

What was the verdict mate?
Did you end up leaving it off or did you relocate them?
I'm putting a '98 ignition on mine and haven't got the rectifier bits either .
Will it run ok or are they a must have part?

I recently put a 98 CR250 ignition on mine.
I don't have a rectifier, but I'm using a different carb.
Runs tits.

Good to hear!
What timing are you running it at?
Stock 250 or advanced?

Mine is straight up and works well.
I plan to try it advanced, but haven't gotten around to it.

I got rectifer/reg bits finaly.
Did a bit of sizing up and ended up slipping the '98 ignition module in where the '01 module had sat.
I put a few runs of cushion type tape around it to reduce vibration.
It sits snug between the rads.
No wiring mods req.
Set stator to full advance (only had to grind the rear of the stator)
Fitted a '98 cr250 coil just to be safe.
Replaced spark plug with a br8eg.

It fired up second kick (it always did anyway).
Sounded a little tamer/smoother at idle,not quite that real hard Bink! Bink!
But a more confident idle.
Take off was also smoother ramping up to a stronger mid range...
and by then I was at the end of the street!
Stopped to chat to a neighbour (he has just bought a 1098 Ducati
Gave it the standard big full kick to restart and it did but it seemed like it would have started with a small kick anyway. photos to follow

Mockup of fitting.
I made up a plate to make the coil fit .By using the smaller '98 250 coil I could mount the rec/reg assy in the small space left over.



Fitted position with heat tape on module and cushioning on rectifier.

Right side view
I put small 2mm washers between the radiators and frame to space out the radiators just to reduce pressure on the module/radiators.



Now I aslo have 2.5 volts from the power jet loom to power an LED headlight.
