What CDI are you guys using?

[Eight]

What CDI are you guys using or reccomend? I´m looking for a box that advances and retards timing depending of revs. No programmable ignitions please.

[AKheathen]

umm.....what's wrong with the dyna fs programmable? you can get it in just the fs, if you want, but why don't you want it? if you are looking for the right curve, one of the 3 will likely be ok, but custom will get you the exact curve you want.....

Nothing wrong with the dyna, but i´m not racing/drag racing with the shee. Got inner rotor setups with programmable boxes for the 70/180cc race tuned i ride with, but for the shee i´m not looking for such things.

 

Been a motcycle man for more than 20 years, own a few bikes including a lightly tuned suzuki gsxr 1000. This is my first quad, still don´t know if quads are for me, (i´d say yes cose i like everything thats fast), but just by know i´m trying to keep things in some kind of a budget if you know what i mind. If like quads i´be blowing money like with my other toys , just want to make sure.

 

From the scooter´s world, there is a cdi box with a wood key wich allows advance/retard with a good compromise of curve. Its just 50€, and its something i always use when building street setups for people who need to keep their lights.

 

Then there is another problem, i have to travel 1 hour to a MX shop to use their dyno, but no quad dynos around here, and using numbers from a simulator isn´t safe enough for me.

 

Rode my shee for five minutes and found it wasn´t runing fine even being the first one i´d driven, popped the head and found a ring had been chewed and no overbores since it was bought, pistons slapped like crazy . Bored to 65,5mm to get some free low end punch, Keihin 28s i get really cheap, and some basic porting, Waiting for tires and a cool head and domes, and was thinking about the cdi box.

 

Woah, end of rant!

I'm running the MSD cdi box.

[bansheesandrider]

There are only 4 ignitions worth using on a Banshee-PVL for the drag race boys, Dyna or MSD if it meets your criteria, or the OEM CDI box. The oem is the most reliable, all other aftermarket electrical components are usually unreliable.The Nology and Dyna coils are OK. Timing keys are not the best solution on Banshees, but are a cheap way to go. I personally would go with a stock CDI box and an adjustable timing plate. JMHO< good luck.

We run the Dyna FS on 3 bikes, No one races drag or mx with them. However, no one that has one wants to ride the bikes without them.

dyna fs, it comes with a sticker.

[AKheathen]

i know i'll never go back to stock from the dyna.......

[mitty8251]

Dyna FS, I have an extra one for a 95-96

Not bein a wise ass here.....

So what you are saying is that on the 3 bikes you run an FS on the owners liked them so much that they wouldn't want to ride the bike if they had to go back to stock CDI's? They must really make a differance!

So...what kind of riding are you talking about and what kind of curves in the CDI? Stockish bikes with one of the pre programmed curves or hot motors with custom made curves?

Two bikes have ported 4mm strokers, and mine is a ported 350. We all ride sand dunes in oregon. We all run custom curves that I made. All the bikes are built for low-mid power.

Givin´ a second thought to the dyna fs ehem

[rdzbangshee]

i use a stock CDI with the timing cranked to the max .the aftermarket CDI unites don't look good to me unless i owned a blubbery smokin 4 stroke

well, then that's probably where most of your troubles were coming from....... mabey one day, i'll throw the dyna on there with the plate backed off and show you what a real difference different curves make.....
