Hello
Recently i have attempted to repair the light coil in my magneto. by doing this i have damaged the main spark coil in the magento. from what the bike shops tell me i can only get the whole assembly (stator) on the parts fische, i have sent the coil off to be rewound hopefully this works ok. Has anyone else ever had this trouble or hints on replacing the spark coil your tips would be great

Had what trouble?

If the exciter coil was damaged while working on the light coil, something happened that shouldn't have. You made a mistake somewhere along the line. You should be able to take the rotor off a gadozen times and not hurt the exciter coil.

I'm saying it's not a KDX 'problem'.

Tips on replacing the spark coil:

RickyStator. Period. That not from personal experience, but I've read plenty of others' experiences. Ricky is the place to get it done.

There is considerably more to it than wrapping wire around a coil a bunch of times. If Ricky isn't doing yours, I would expect to have problems with it...everything from spark timing problems to very early failure.

I don't know what his stance is on overseas shipping and such. Would work better if you knew someone over here you trusted that would handle it for 'ya.

Good luck!

Hey Mate,
Where are you getting your coils rewound in Oz? How much does this bloke charge? I had a set **** themselves when my crank seal blew out and replaced them with a second hand set which work fine but would be keen to know for future reference.
