Pazon Electronic Igns.

All classic bike owners have heard of Boyer Bransden. This company revolutionised classic bike ignition systems in the 1970s and have remained a major supplier with largely the same product ever since. In 2005 a new company was launched, Pazon ignition systems, formed from the managemant and technical team of Boyer Bransden. They are now supplying an advanced, reliable ignition system for classics. The Pazon Sure Fire is an improved, upgraded system similar in theory to the standard Boyer, the Smart Fire system is more sophisticated. See below. There are versions available for Triumph, Norton and BSA twins and singles Pazon moved their operation to New Zealand in April 2007. All Pazon parts shown on this page are always available from us. |

Pazon
Sure Fire
|
|
The Pazon Sure Fire system has several advantages over the Boyer unit. It will start the bike even if the battery Voltage is low, down to 8 Volts. The Boyer unit goes full advance at anything under 10 Volts resulting in backfiring. Very useful on a Mk3 Commando preventing backfiring destroying the sprag clutch drive from the starter motor. The same kit is suitable for singles & twins. |

| There is a proper terminal block on the stator plate, not loose flying leads that are prone to internal fracture. A common failure on Commandos fitted with a Boyer, as the engine moving backwards and forwards eventually breaks the copper wires inside the insulation resulting in misfiring and breakdown. |
|
There are degree marks around the stator plate making accurate adjustments easier. Starting is easier and running smoother. The advance curve is more progressive and is consistant from unit to unit. It draws around 2.0 Amps. The stator plate is printed on both sides making installation easier. The amplifier box is smaller and easier to mount. Full instructions are supplied and it is easy to fit and time. There is a 7 1/2 year warranty! It is even protected against wrong installation, connecting positive to negative. Pt.no.PZSUF01 £94.95 each + £6.95 P&P For twins it is best to use 2 x 6V coils or 1 x 12V twin output coil Pazon Surefire + one 12V coil Pt.no. PZSUFC01 £110.45 + £8.95 P&P Pazon Surefire + twin output coil 12V Pt.no. PZSUFC02 £129.95 + £8.95 P&P Pazon Surefire + 2 x 6V coils Pt.no. PZSUFC03 £125.90 + £8.95 P&P
For the special builders, the stator plate is 68MM dia and the pick up coils on top are approx. 12 x 12 x 12MM |

True Fire
|
|
Based on the Smart Fire, the Truefire is an electronic ing. system for 2 strokes, converted to 12V using positive or negative earth. It replaces the contact breakers, condensers & points cam. This kit is specifically for Ariel Arrows & Leaders. Pt.no.PZTRF01 £189.95 each + £8.95 P&P

Magneto replacement body
| When your magneto packs up you can have it rebuilt or replace it with a more modern electronic ignition at around the same cost. This will give you better starting (hot and cold) and far greater reliability, as well as a 7 1/2 year warranty when fitted with a Pazon ignition. When fitted to a bike with automatic advance/retard, the mechanism has to be disabled or replaced with a fixed pinion for a engine with a manual A/R. |
|
This magneto replacement body is machined from billet aluminium and is designed to replace the K1F / K2F and KVF type magnetos. It can be fitted with electronic ignition systems such as the Lucas Rita, Boyer or the more modern Pazon Surefire systems or even the Lucas 4CA/6CA contact breakers. £99.00 + £6.95 P&P Pt.no. MB01 Magneto body + Pazon Surefire £194.00 + £8.95 P&P Pt.no.PZSURMB01 |

THE COMPLETE KIT to replace a magneto with Pazon Surefire ign. Comprises Pazon Surefire, magneto replacement, ignition coil. Pt.no PZSURCK01 singles £210.00 + £8.95 P&P PZSURCK02 Twins £229.00 + £8.95 P&P Lucas pattern ignition key switch to suit Pt.no. SW10163/1 £22.90 |
Pazon Smart Fire
|
The Smart Fire system completely replaces the original points, condensors, mechanical advance, coils, leads & plug caps. The result is improved performance, excellent starting, smoother running and low maintenance. The system includes a miniature high energy dual output ignition coil which produces very high spark energy. The Smart Fire features active dwell control that maintains the right energy in the ignition coil for optimum performance, whatever the engine rpm. The intelligent software also means that the Smart Fire is highly efficient, drawing very little power 0.5 -1.0Amp. |

The timing is made easy,
with an on-board static timing light.
|
| At very low speeds (below 150rpm) the Smart Fire systems fire fully retarded. This greatly reduces the possibility of kick-back. So you can expect it fire around 30° retarded. Once above this speed the module fires as per advance curve, i.e. 24° retard up to 350rpm, to 20° retarded from 750-1000rpm. |
|
The system is available to suit all Triumph/BSA and Norton models with the points in the timing cover and can be fitted to the magneto replacement body. 7 1/2 year warranty. BSA Singles £349.95 BSA Triumph & Norton Twins, £369.95 Trident/R3 £399.95 Vincent twins £438.50 (This includes the Mag. replacement body as above) Vincent Comet & Velocette single £449.95 (This includes the Mag. replacement body as above) All + £9.95 P&P |
