hi again,
am looking for an ignition system for this T250.
thinking about buying the ELECTREX WORLD self generating stator kit. I don't want to run a battery.
they have a kit listed part# STK-250 that fits T20,T500 & T500R.
I think this kit should fit a t250 as i'm fairly sure the left end of the crank are the same.
has anybdy here had any experience with them.
regards Ben.

Looks pretty cool! You're doing a bang-up job on it. Can't wait to see it finished.

PowerDynamo also has a racing ignition.

Marvellous. How much is it for a gt380? I don't speak German very well so cannot find out the price. I translated the page but still found no prices.
The kit looks great. Very nice, but looks expensive in comparison to a boyer bransdon.

Ignore what I just said I eventually managed to find the price...420euros! Ouch. Sure looks good though. Wish I had the moolah

Don't recommend PowerDynamo for the GT triples.
It replaces the stock alternator with one that has much lower output.

There's a few good choices for the GT380 that are cheaper.
Accent is a good choice -- easy to install & doesn't have an external control box to mount.
Would go with Newtronic over Boyer because its designed for the GT380 & the Boyer is designed for Kawasakis.
