August 5, 200422 yr Don't know Ian. The 04 300 has ducati and is fine. I thought all 04's used the ducati ignition but I could be wrong. I'm sure others will know though.
August 5, 200422 yr My '04 280 uses the Ducati one. It's most likely a missprint in the '05 specs. Regardless all the previous ('02 and '03) Pros had the Kokusan ignition and I've not seen any problems with it either...just that it wasn't programmable like the Ducati one.
August 5, 200422 yr On the '04 models it is a Ducati Programmable ignition. On previous years it was the Kokusan and it was not programmable. Not sure on the '05 models yet, but would be suprised if they went back to a non-programmable one, but it is possible.
August 26, 200422 yr This is a good idea, it would be nice if you could have the option of a toruey big motor without the snap, I wonder if they can programme exactly what each rider wants? Guess they can.
August 26, 200422 yr Nigel, the system can be reprogrammed with any one of 4 predetermined ignition curves. You cannot actually build your own curve, but the 4 options hit a pretty broad range, from very mellow to extreme. It is a very nice option for sure, and still "idiot proof" with the 4 presets, meaning that the user can't mess it up with "creative curve designs" of their own
