Default Total electrical Failure

Yesterday, my kz250 died. Coil exploded in a rash of ooz and smoke. My ignition unit also smoking. Also found out that my electronic pickup was not functioning.

Good thing I live in China

$15 for
1 new pickup
1 new coil pack
1 new ignition unit
4 hours labor.

Runs great now, will hopefully stop burning plugs now

Yeah, china!

With those sort of prices why not just pay the $30 for a brand new bike.

Then I would not be riding a kaw... I would be riding the POS bike that those parts came off of.

Out of curiosity, how much would a new kaw 250 run over there in US $?
