MSD Enhancer Ignition

for the Yamaha Banshee

PN 05-09-2615/PN 4204

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Spark Output:

The MSD Enhancer Ignition System for the Yamaha Banshee produces a high

output spark that is approximately double the stock spark output. This increased spark energy
allows the use of richer fuel mixtures or even exotic fuel such as alcohol. The MSD Enhancer
Ignition will put out approximately 30,000 volts to the spark plug.

Spark Plugs:

With the MSD Enhancer, it is recommended to use as cold a spark plug as possible

while still being able to start the engine easily. The spark plug gap will largely depend on the
compression of the engine. The higher the compression the smaller the plug gap you must run. A
good rule of thumb for the spark plug gap is between .032” and .036”. Taking the time to test with
different gaps will give you the best gap for your application.

MSD Coil and Spark Plug Wires:

The MSD Coil features low resistance (0.2 Ohms Primary, 2K

Ohms Secondary) with a turns ratio of 70:1 for maximum spark voltage and energy. The MSD
8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wires are very low resistance (less than 50 Ohms per foot) for
maximum voltage carrying capabilites. Even with this low resistance, the wire still suppresses EMI
(Electro Magnetic Interference) from disrupting the electronics of the ignition. This is the only wire
recommended to be used with the MSD Enhancer Ignition System.

Adjustable Ignition Timing Curve:

The MSD Enhancer Ignition system allows you to program an

ignition timing curve. Changes in altitude, compression, fuel octane or a number of other variables
requires that the ignition timing be compensated. The MSD Enhancer allows you to advance or
retard the initial timing as well as designate a different timing curve to increase overall power and
performance.

Holeshot Feature:

The feature allows the user to program an rpm-limit, which enables the rider to

leave the starting line quicker.

Rev Limiter:

The MSD Enhancer does not have an adjustable rev limiter. The Ignition will not turn

over 13,500 rpm.
