K&S Technologies 09-0003 Ignition Condenser for Honda Motorcycles

The K&S Technologies 09-0003 is an OEM-style replacement ignition condenser designed for vintage Honda motorcycles equipped with points-type ignition systems. This essential component works in conjunction with the breaker points and ignition coil to ensure proper spark generation and reliable engine performance.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for Honda OEM part numbers 30250-330-003 and 30250-107-000
• Prevents destructive arcing at the breaker points to extend point life
• Enables rapid collapse of the ignition coil's magnetic field for stronger spark
• Compact design matches OEM specifications
• Essential for maintaining proper ignition timing and engine operation

Function:

In a points-type ignition system, the condenser (capacitor) serves two critical functions. When the breaker points open, it absorbs the energy from the collapsing magnetic field in the ignition coil primary circuit, preventing voltage from arcing across the points and causing premature wear. Simultaneously, it aids in the rapid collapse of the magnetic field, which generates the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture. Without a properly functioning condenser, the ignition system will experience point damage, weak spark, misfiring, or complete failure to run.

Application:

This condenser fits various vintage Honda motorcycle models including CB100, CL100, SL100, CB125S, CL125S, SL125, and XL100. Always verify fitment with your specific model year and engine configuration.
