Yeah , once set , you can forget about it and I'm sure like most others, the bike will run better on it.

Had to get 4.6mm BTDC for the 242 so thought this might do the trick

This is the Hall Sensor pickup that replaces the points and condenser, the encoder magnets are attached to the inside of the flywheel,

Tbh on mine once the points was set up correctly i never had a problem with them, the engine is just weak on low end throttle range, if this electronic ignition can race the engine up like the fantic engine does i can see the 242 becoming abit more popular.
