No, you simply buy another CDI online. It's cheaper than trying to muck with it. There's many choices, restricted, unrestricted, etc.

Mine doesnt have a cdi

The three in the Kymco plugbare easy, 12v, ground and data. The data is some kind of format that is present in the OBDII pin out. What it is, I would have to google it again. Gimme a minute and maybe I can find it again....

Your a star, I will look into doing this soon.
I also remember there being two plugs next to the battery, one being the obvious diagnostic plug and one right next to it., think it was a 2 pin.
Do you have any idea on the pins for kymco plug, I know I can use a multimeter, but it's always nice to know.

I think there is a way to do this with car stuff. There is a bluetooth OBDII plug-in that can be wired to the three pins of the Kymco connector. Then use a free app on your phone or tablet to "see" inside your ECU. Pin diagrams on the internet for the OBDII connector and wiring diagram for the bike. Have not tried it yet so you might be the pioneer!

Have you any idea which 3 pins from standard obd2 plug goes to which pins in kymco plug.
I have various different car diagnostic , elm327 connects to most things.

Just ride the scooter. No need to worry about things that might happen. My experience Kymcos are very reliable....my 2019 Xtown 300i works well.

I'm not worries about what might happen

Yes, there is a diagnostic tool from Kymco for about 200 bucks USD. Good luck getting one from a dealer these days!

I cant find one anywhere, one sold for £25 a week before I needed one on a selling site. Typical lol

Lousy tech,

I wonder if you have any info for me.

I have a super8 50cc 4t moped.
Is has ECU and injection.
So no cdi unit.
I want to de-restrict the moped, usually change cdi unit, job done.
Is it possible to get software and de-restrict moped via ECU.

I have done a search only finding old posts from a couple of years ago.

Are there any diagnostic tools available for kymco.
I dont mind using laptop rather than handheld tool if needs be.

Also has any one on here got experience in using software on kymco mopeds. 2018 up.
