Ignition set -BGM PRO 12V Touring electronic- Vespa Smallframe PK XL, PK XL2, HP3, HP4 - 1600g

BGM PRO Touring ignition 12V for Vespa PK XL-HP4 (1600 g)

The BGM PRO ignition set made of high-quality components for a quick conversion of the Vespa to a maintenance-free, powerful and reliable ignition/alternator unit. This set is designed for the Vespa PK XL, PK ETS, PK HP series (also fits V50, 50N, PV, ET3 etc. with corresponding crankshaft, see also article BGM666PV20)

FEATURES

• lighter, balanced pole wheel
• good concentricity
• more power
• better acceleration
• bright light even when idling
• voltage-stabilized 12 volt on-board power supply
• maintenance-free and reliable electronic ignition
• immediate starting

Alternator and voltage regulator
The BGM PRO set is based on a modern on-board electrical system with voltage regulator. The alternator has modified coil wiring and produces a high voltage even at low engine speeds. This ensures a bright, stable light even at idling speed. At high engine speeds, the voltage regulator automatically regulates to a stable and gentle 12-13 volts. This also offers the option of charging a battery and/or supporting a USB charging socket for cell phones, navigation devices, etc.

Ignition
The BGM Pro ignition is based on the CDI technology used by Piaggio since the 1980s, which has proven itself millions of times over. The ignition pulse is triggered contactlessly via a so-called pick-up signal. The high ignition current, even at low engine speeds, ensures perfect starting behavior under all conditions. The contactless ignition triggering is stable well into the five-digit speed range.

Pole wheel
The pole wheels are matched to the respective application by their weight:

At 1600 grams, the smallframe models are perfectly suited to the lively characteristics of small engines.
At 2300 grams, the largeframe engines offer a wonderful blend of smooth running and very good acceleration.

They are finely balanced, offer fantastic concentricity and high ignition timing accuracy as well as very good magnetization. Thanks to the smaller circumference and the optimized vane surfaces, the engine hangs very well on the throttle and has better acceleration and slightly more power.

Conversion
This set is ideally suited as a replacement, e.g. to replace a defective ignition of a PK XL/ETS model or to have a complete new and high-quality base at hand when rebuilding an engine. The set is also very interesting for retrofitting previous models such as the V50, PV, ET3 etc.. These still have a weakly dimensioned crankshaft with a small cone. The Vespa PK models were given a larger crankshaft with the introduction of the sporty ETS models and the subsequent XL models. This has a larger alternator cone, recognizable by the M12 thread of the pole nut and the shaft seal ring with 20x32x7mm (PK XL) or 24x35x7mm (PK ETS). The larger dimensioned stub is useful for tuning with 125cc and more on the V50/PV/ET3 models (the stub can no longer tear off). To install a crankshaft from the PK models in the older V50/PV/ET3 models, the pole wheel from the PK models is also required. This set provides the basis for upgrading an old engine to a modern level, both mechanically and electronically. If you also need a voltage regulator and holder for the CDI, you should take a look at the BGM666PV20 set.

CONCLUSION
A very nice set to upgrade your Vespa to a modern, reliable and powerful electrical system. All parts are permanently available as spare parts.
