Re: Replacing the Digiplex S2 on the 906 Paso

I need a new box, so am trying various sources, but wondered if anyone using this site has a working one they are prepared to part with.
It will be for a 906.
I'm in the UK so it will be worth checking the cost of postage.
Thanks

I've said this before, change the standard ignition coils to modern units from eg. an Aprilia. The standard coils have a very low impedance (<0.8 Ohm) that causes overheating of the Digiplex. With a high impedance (3.5 Ohm) coil the unit is not overdriven and is quite reliable, my Paso stil has the original Digiplex.

Mine still would have too if I hadn't been such a dipstick and put a new battery on with the terminals reversed.
Cue melting wiring and smoke, and a non-working ignition system.
I have a new IgniTech one now so will see how that goes.
