Just lifted this image from ebay.
An example of a Kawasaki 750 5 wire stator assembly.
What seems to be missing from the two bare lobes is what the manual refers to as the “exciting coil”.
I'm guessing it produces a highish (greater than 12 volts) voltage to charge the capacitor in the CDI. Is that right?
Why don't all CDIs need this?
Just curious.
