Noob question - CDI unit

Post by CybaHag »

Hi gents. I found this while browsing around our local classifieds.

The seller wrote this : Vfr nc30 cdi performance chip plug in and go. It removes the limitations on the bike.

Now being a noob I need to ask the following questions.

1: What will this do to my bike
2: The price of for the unit is £57. Is this reasonable

Thanks guys

It simply removes the 180 km/h restriction which standard Japanese market bikes have.

You can achieve the same thing with a 20p piece of wire. ;)

As cammo has said.. it removes the 180km/h speed limit on Japanese bikes that is all. It does this by connecting the orange wire to the 12v line. All the wires pass through it, there is nothing inside the box.

If your bike is still restricted you can remove the restirction for free without using any tools in several ways.

Either has cammo has suggested, by cutting the sensor wire and connecting it to 12v OR opening the speedo and removing the metal disc.

They can fetch good money as there is a lot of mis-information about them and what they do.

Unless your building a true period class SP replica then I wouldnt spend any money on it.
