Don't ask me. Other people were stirring the pot but if he'd just said 201 without being a cock. .

Just a couple of images for the bro to ponder over. Little different, but not entirely successful me suspects...

Can someone please post up the base curve for a FXR.

We have sourced a cheap programmable CDI and would like to play with it and see if it's any good.

If it is, it might be a simple and cheap upgrade for those having electrical issues and/or too tight to buy an ignitech...

So far it will accept both two and four stroke maps.... Rev limiter, quickshifter, still working on killswitch

Base of 9 to 1500 then 34 at 5300 flat from there to the limiter of 12400 / 12500

Cheers rich.
Forgot how crude it actually was.

All good, I'll post up the results as it happens.

Did the nasty rocker child steal your onesie?

its a start of a little bit of a story.

For a while now, I've been playing around with CDI's (to the point of even trying to make one myself).
Back in 2010 I got myself an ignitech P2 and fell in love with it (amazing value for money and recommend them to nearly everyone).

But; with over 9 bucket bikes in the GPR fleet (including 50, sidecars and some other gems); its a little to expensive to have ignitech's on everything, so we are stuck with the age old problem "shit CDIs" or swapping CDI's....

So as part of the my original search (2010) I stumbled across a Chinese MC forum where a young man named Dragon was prototyping a CDI; which I followed with some interest (along with some correspondence; and a simple wish list).

Well he managed to do it and start producing the units. And yes you can buy them directly out of china.
Sitting on my desk is a Version 1.04 (o.k so its a version 4) after fighting Customs....



After working through the Chinese Complied version; I now have a Engrish (not quite English) version of the software installed and running.


Thus far; now we have it in a state where we can do something:
Once you get the USB dongle installed, the software and CDI will happily talk without any connection to a 12v battery (this is cool as I can play with it in my office rather than in the shed).
Adding and moving points (up to 120 points; but five to seven will do) and programming is a piece of piss.
The CDI micro's clock speed is significantly higher than that of the ignitech (so the number of points at the moment doesn't seem to be an issue).
Two or four stroke (single or twin) it doesn't matter.
half effect trigger as a primary (but it looks like it will take other trigger options)

Extra Features:
Bugger all at the moment.
Kill switch, quickshifter (ok internal modification of the killswitch; with a time delayed spark). plus adjustable MAP and RPM limiter.
Price = ~$150 for the chinese version currently (but I'm working on that too)...


From here:
Should be on the bike this week (on the dyno) and I'll see if I can break it.
If it survives then I'll carry on the translation of the installation manual/wiring diagrams and help improve the Engrish in the software further...

Its not an Ignitech (if you want that level of performance/features get an Ignitech);
But hopefully its better than a clapped out 20 year old MX CDI, which would likely still cost more...

I'll keep everyone in the loop.

I like it. Very interested to see how this goes.
We just bought in a couple of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Rac...a41dac&vxp=mtr to power the ignis, would (possibly) go nicely with your CDI. Only problem is its the Honda taper so needs to be sleeved for our two strokes

[TZ350]

If we could get a batch of taper sleeves made then between Berts ignition and these generators that would be a really good basic ignition option.
