Note, please see info on R68 camshafts
Note, not for BMW modified with aluminium flywheel, why is explained here

Magneto with integrated solid state ignition, output at 12V/150W DC. Ignition with own power supply from within the system. Replaces old generator L45/60L, regulator, magnet unit, centrifugal advance unit in above listed BMW with either 17 or 20mm crankpin (measured at wide end).

Does not require changes on crankcase. The system is technically capable of running without battery.All the 12v components are out of sight behind the front engine cover or tucked under the tank. No extra wires run to the headlight--the bike looks completely stock. The difference you will notice is how much easier the bike starts and runs, and a much improved lighting system..
System 70 81 999 has ignition triggered on crankshaft which not only eliminates wear between crank and cam influencing ignition, but also frees the camshaft place to install de the ignition coil there (as this system does)
Advantage over original system:
  • all parts are new
  • solid state ignition and advance
  • more light output
  • very stable ignition with solid spark
  • better starting, better fuel burning
  • no wear anymore on collector, governor and points
