Hmm - difficult to say XLR8.

If the CDI is just putting out a stronger pulse, then a little custom tuning might do the trick - but if the timing of the spark is advanced, it wont suit your bike in the standard configuration (as mentioned before).

The trouble with the Chinese add-on parts is that they don't really explain what you're getting and there's little in the way of installation guides and product specs to help.

That's why I tend to be conservative and go for things I know will improve performance without altering the set-up of the engine. A typical example of this is opening up the snorkel port on the air-box to free up air flow. This type of mod makes a noticable difference, but doesn't require re-jetting or any other messing about.

Another thing you can always do, is take the bike in for a tune-up at a specialist, who has all the right analysis kit (or even a dyno-tune set-up). It doesn't cost that much and will gernerally get you an extra horse or two.

If my bike keeps going O.K, I'm looking to get a bataycan stage 3 race engine next year. That way, the mod company will have done all the hard work for me and custom matched the upgrade components for optimum performance.

Can't wait to do it!
