Dual spark

Post by old-colt »

I am working on a project and am wondering if anyone is running the Dual Spark code with factory pickups?

I seem to see references to changing bikes to multitooth trigger wheels but have not seen any mention of running Microsquirt for what it appears to be designed for. Two pickups with two coils.
Cheers,
Charlie,

+1 on this question

I have a GPZ900 '84 with two VR pickups 180 degrees apart that I would like to use to reduce the mods required from stock

The only mod you'd need is to lose one of the pick up teeth. Not ideal as a few more teeth is better, but would work anyway. :?

If it has only one tooth on the wheel, it may work with no mods at all.

I have the same setup, what was the outcome. I did try to use a single input but was unsuccessful. Look forward to your replay, Paul
