The first thing I'm going to study is how the guys at Kawasaki engineered the ignition circuit. Unless someone comes up with a better idea, I'm going to do it the old fashion way by taking a peek inside the black box.

Here's some food for thought: a new Kawasaki Ninja 250R Igniter Unit 21119-0096 at Bike Bandit is $379.55, used ones are offered on ebay for $125.

In theory we have agreed that our budget cannot be supplemented by selling used parts, yet in practice there is an actual chance of ending up with extra cash before we even get started.

What do you think is inside the ignition box that justifies an asking price of $380?

Gold? State-secrets? Pictures of Tom Cruise making out with John Travolta?
