Title: CDI upgrades
Post by: hellblom on August 26, 2019, 04:12:51 pm
Hi,

do anyone here know of an improved CDI except the one made by Rick's Motorsport Electrics https://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/Hot-Shot-Honda-CDI-Box-15_102 ? I am asking since that one gets crazy expensive with shipping and customs to Europe. On Ebay I have found other brands, Arrowhead and SGR which seem to have the jumpers on it to provide the higher redline setting.

Any experiences from the good people here?
Regards
Olle

I replaced mine with the one from Ricks 6 or 7 months ago and it has worked just fine ,I have mine set at the lower rpm redline as I am not using the bike as a high performance bike. My stock one worked fine but being as old as it was I just replaced it for good measure

Thanks, that is how I am reasoning as well. Head on over to the Yahoo group page, there's an interesting discussion going on around this subject over there.
