Stock GMA pads are crap on those calipers, take a set to an aftermarket import shop like CycleGear and do a little matching. where I used to my replacements when I ran those.

The kit included programmable ignition and coil and all wiring and like I said it runs great. It is important to me that i can kick it over pretty easily.

It kicked pretty easily and fired to life mid kick before but it did not run as smooth. Before it had electronic pickup with advance wieghts and a old cracked coil.

I would like to find a way to program the ultima to zero dead revs, the program kit that can do this is almost as much as the ignition so i am hoping i can find someone or a shop that has the program and can do it.
I have the same ignition on my ironhead and it is set to zero dead revs and the bike fires right up instantly. That bike is electric start only so i am thinking of just switching them but i am also lazy.
it should not have dead revs never seen that and use a lot of then is that new ????

The Ultima Ignition, like the Dyna they Copy, can be programmed, for Dead Revs or No...
If you cannot find someone to do that for you... Drop me a PM.
I won't do it... But, can put you in touch with someone who does Plenty!!

ok we a couple years back bought 200 of the ultima ignitions, in a sale and they were the older style before the re program kit, that you need to set the dead rev count on the newer version of the 53-644 ignition. did not know they updated it
