Went to Harley of Charlotte today, bought a Screaming Eagle adjustable ign module for 98 and newer XL (according to the parts guy, it would fit) well, it didnt. It says that there should be a 6 pin connector. All I can find is a 3 pin triangle shape connector. Is there any way to use it? SE PN# 32942-02 I wanted the adju rev limiter and 10 position curve, but I think I am SOL. Any suggestions? | ||

98 and newer XL use a nose cone module. The entire module sits in the nose of the cam cover. But Buells don't use a nose cone module, they use a regular 8-pin module (except some S2's which use a 7-pin). In the nose cone is a just a simple pickup unit with the 3-pin plug, which you discovered. You *can* wire that nose cone unit into your bike, but you'll have to remove your current 8-pin module (located under the seat pan on the right) and do a bunch of wire splicing. People do it, though. It's not that complex. Or, return it, point out to the parts guy that Buells never went to the nose cone units in '98 like the XL's did, and exchange it for one of many fine 8-pin units that are readily available. edited by aaron on May 02, 2004 | ||

Anywhere to het a scematic to do so? Are there any under the seat modules that offer that kind of adjustability? Will the dealer take it back, I had to open it to get the directions out. | ||

The pinout for the stock 8-pin module is: 1) +12V ignition power from handlebar switch (white) 2) to ignition plate sensor (black/white) 3) to ignition plate sensor (red) 4) primary signal to coil & tach (pink) 5) to ignition plate sensor (green) 6) VOES input (violet/white) 7) ground (black) 8) not connected You'll find the same signals for your nose cone module (look in the documentation), except pins 2, 3, and 5, since the pickup unit is integrated into the module. There are LOTS of regular 8-pin modules with various levels of adjustability, ranging from totally non-adjustable (like the race kit module) all the way up to PC link versions with fancy software. What I've found is that most people really don't want lots of adjustability, just because it takes lots of time and access to a dyno to dial it in. I put a lot of people into the Dyna 2000, which offers just 4 curves and 4 different rev limits. You can jut statically time it and set it on level 4 and it'll be right for 95% of the street bikes out there. |
