IRK question

[Stubsy]

can they be installed with a new race cdi aswell?

[liljohn_92]

nah mate they come with there own cdi and it replaces ur whole wiring loom 2 so you end up with less shoit
they rev to the moon with the cdi that comes with them so no need for race cdi

also got adjustable timing so you can play with that 2

I'd like to get one, but i dont know enough about them.

i didnt either but it was $50 so i got it and then it was change stator plates and i guessed where all the wiring went and i got it right

Hahaha, good job.
But i ment will it shorten the life of the engine at all?
Are they worth it?

[liljohn_92]

well now mine goes a bit harder and it revs forever 2

[Stubsy]

so whats the advantage of one over a race cdi which i thought did the same thing? changed your revs and made the power come on smoother. apart from the timing change ability which not everyone would use

An IRK lightens the rotating weight on the crank reducing inertia and allowing the engine to rev up and down with less delay much like a lightened flywheel in a car

[Stubsy]

righto mate thanks. so probly not real good for a heavy arse like myself? Assuming my bike will be working real hard to get me to move and with all the problems with peoples cranks breaking?

Cranks only breakwhen you start trying to over rev the bike or get the timing wrong. Cactus done a post in an IRK thread explaining what happens. Yeah lowering the rotating weight will make it harder to get the bike moving but once your mobile you should be fine
