Looking for CDI
« on: March 25, 2010, 03:21:09 AM »
anyone know of a good Aftermarket CDI unit to get for my Kymco ZX50? Im done buying the stock ones!

So far the only real thing i have found is a site called Scooter assassins.

Thanks

Zombie has resorted to getting them custom programmed from the manufacturer.  They are actually cheaper than the oem one for the exact same thing.  Suitai is the company that manufactures the cdi's for Kymco.  You can contact them directly and get one custom programed or just use the factory spec minus the rev limiter.  Zombie has more info on it if you'd like.

The cdi that scooter assassins sells is the Suitai! BUT Suitai will sell it to you for $39.99 + shipping. Use the contact us tab at the top of the screen. I think her name is Debbie. (contact). My bad Debbie is the girl from the regulator Manuf. Dung Tsu is the fella from Suitai! It will take a phone call to get it straight, as a lot gets lost in translation on the Email. 90 day warranty on top of the price! Mine burnt out every 3 months or so(de-restricted). I have had this one for approx 6 months? Still good Bro

Pass it along Jax. I bought a Greg Noll Board 3-4 years ago on Jax Bch. Fl. I will always remember my broken vertebra on Vilanno Bch.

You Kno The V>  Dude I am Vilanno Zombie! Broke neck beach in da house!!!! When I was there I ran w/ Crack head Kevin, Fat Mike, Cory, and Crystal. Oh yeah  can' forget Minni Me (aka Noodles) Vilanno Crab Shack was the BOMB! Now I think it is all a Parking lot for the dumb a$$ hotels. Well anyway the cdi won't add power. It wil allow the power that is there to run. Just a guess but if the restricted version has 5-7 Hp? You can only use 3-5 of it. I know the anology is wrong but you will get to use everything the engine is producing once you de-restrict. Trust me on this one Bro! Get your next cdi from Suitai. Otherwise I think you could Find me thru Giggles (aka Kelly)

If you go with the factory timing curve it will be exactly the same as stock minus the rev limiter.  However, it will not be prone to burning itself up like the stock de-restricted one.  Even if you get a custom programmed one, I doubt it will increase performance unless you have a "race" setup where you have it programmed to match.  I think Zombie had his custom programmed a little different than stock.  I'm pretty sure he posted the programing under my "How fast should my ZX50 go after mods" thread.  I do know that his has achieved about 10 mph faster top speed than mine with a similar set-up.  I'm not sure if that can be attributed to the cdi though.  I'm still running the stock de-resticted cdi.  I haven't had any problem with it so I haven't replaced it.

Just use the contact us tab. It will open a window with their phone #'s. They have an English speaking secretary that answers. Just tell her you are looking for a custom cdi for your Kymco, and she will Transfer you to Dung. They are not a retail outlet but the Manuf. that Kymco gets the cdi from. Do you have or intend to have any mods on the engine?
