I asked a couple more questions:
Need to send one in to be REwound..no advance exchange?
Any RMA sort of thing required?
Timeframe?
Got this reply:
i would need you to send me the stock stator, it takes two days once we receive them. no rma required just send them to the address below with a note.
Ricky Stator
1672 Main St, Unit E PMB104
Ramona CA 92065
I always have more questions...but I never said I HAD an OEM/stock coil. I don't know if the Electrex that's in there has the same core or not..if they were 'rewrapped' or indeed, completely different.
Maybe I still have my OEM piece lying around. That would be good. I don't generally throw parts away..but FINDING it is another matter altogether. I seem to remember some hard, heavy wrapped up 'thing' in my parts bin.....
Maybe I'll wait on Inda's 150watter............

I was thinking the air cleaner.... but if you must....
You went through all that hypertextn' back and forth and didn't get a quote?
My wire should be here in a couple days... and my secret weapon too!
We'll see just how good I can blow up a KDX's wiring system....

Re: 'You went through all that hypertextn' back and forth and didn't get a quote?'
I'd already emailed him twice..and asked 1/2 dozen questions. Figured that was pushing it as it was.
'Sides...it's not like there are a lot of options. RickyStator has done good by me in the past. They know their stuff. They're reasonable on everything else they sell. I don't suppose rewinding a coil would be any different.
Secret weapon? What...you got a big magnetic hammer to pound the wire into shape around a calcified hunk of Hubba Yubba Bubba Gum?
I heard it tastes like shrimp..........
Yabba-Dabba Do!!!
Aircleaner?
Ohh....yeah. THAT hole's on TOP of that seat, anyway.
Sorry. I got cornfused. Wrong seat.

Well... I have about $100 in materials so if I can make one work as good or better... then I am better off. Also I will be able to rewind one much cheaper than what is available.
Win, win!

Interested to see where you are at with this. I'm about to order wire, a gasket, and tear down my coil.

OK... who stole my damned flywheel holder?!?!?!?
Had to order a new one.... DAMN IT!
I hope it's not in the yard... that'll stop a lawnmower blade.... and proly shear the key!

If your mower is nice enough to have a key on it...I've seen that as a cost cutting maneuver. On the bright side the bottom end destruction of a briggs and scrapiron when the crank comes to a sudden stop is rather entertaining.

Well guys.... I have succeeded in having lighting coils made for the KDX that are good to 100 Watts! I have been testing a prototype for the last few days and I can tell you this thing is solid!
Anything above an idle and you have solid power like with anything without a battery. At idle, the stock 35 watt light will be at full power with the occasional flicker. So, I tested a 55 Watt halogen and had the same results. Next I tried the 35 watt stock light with the 55 watt halogen and it was dim at idle but a few hundred RPM's more it was at full brightness.
The bike ran allot better off the bottom and generally seemed peppier. This is probably the 3rd most important improvement I have made to my bike as far as running. Not to mention having a much better lighting system.
I am impressed with the outcome of this little venture. I will make them available to you guys as a kit. Screws, heat shrink, lighting coil and instructions.
The best part is that you keep your stock coil as a backup and there is no exchange. These are brand new, ready to install.
Price will be $110 shipped in the US, slightly more for shipping to Canadian customers.
PM me if you want to purchase one of the first 5 kits I will recieve next week.
