Running without a speedo?
As usual I've left it nice and late to get my bike ready for racing (next weekend at Oulton), got most of it done at least but got one questions:
I'm running in a 'Stock' class, and although I've been told I can use my Ignitech cdi with a stock map I think I'd rather go along with the full letter of the rules. However I seem to remember reading about a 'feature' of the stock cdi that cut the rear bank when it didn't detect a speedo, which is a problem seeing as my race bike doesn't have a speedo :p
Is there a way around this? guessing it's some form of signal between the speedo and the cdi? I've looked at the wiring diagram and there appears to be a solid green and a green and blue wire that go from the speedo to the cdi, something to do with these 2?
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Re: Running without a speedo?
Are you running the ignitech?
If so, no problem.
If using the stock CDI you need to get a search for the restrictor mod where you fool the CDI into thinking the CDI is plugged in. Or, fit an M-Max box.HRC SP box.

Re: Running without a speedo?
The class rules state that the stock class needs to use the stock CDI, although I've been told I'll be ok with the Ignitech on the stock map I think I'd rather follow the rules exactly and use the Stock CDI, hence the issue as I was running without a speedo last year (no stock class) on an Ignitech CDI (HRC Map I believe) with no problems.
I'll have a look for threads about the restrictor mod, cheers :)

Splice the wire (don't cut it), solder in a 2.2k resistor and run the spliced wire to a 12v source (battery +ve or other).
