Hello, my name is Glen, I'm from the Netherlands, and I am building an fj1200 with a nico bakker frame. I have some difficulties with an ignitech tcip4 ignition, and was wondering if anyone could help. I have build a custom wiring loom, and when I use the ignition, I am not getting a signal from the pick up. It's an 1989 fj1200 with a single pick up. When I use the test function, I get a spark. Does anyone know what settings to use?

Welcome Glen, RPM hosts this forum and they are builders/racers. Check out post #11 in this for a simple wire diagram https://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=15285.0
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

It's not the wiring I think, I think I have the wrong settings for the ignitech

You are using the stock FJ pickup with the ignitech module, are you sure they are compatible?
Here is the USA the Dyna tech ignition is popular and the Dyna ignition module needs to be used with Dyna's own proprietary pickup.

Reading on ignatech's website, it looks like you would be best to try the crankshaft trigger wheel and pickup from a fuel injected XJR1300.  This trigger wheel is 24-2 and there is a setting for that it appears.

So I talked to ignitech, and figured out I have an ignition box for a Hall effect sensor, I've contacted the dealer to see if I can swap it for the right one

That'll do it!

I'd like to hear more about the install after you get the right box
