Hello All !,
I am looking to get a performace CDI for my 150cc Kymco Super 8. I has a DC Pulse rather than AC. I however can't find one anywhere except Scootertronics and I know that many of you know why that place isn't a good choice. I am therfore open to any sugestions as to where I can get this CDI.
--Jim

The NCY ones are the best! They work for both AC AND DC i dont have any instock but i think enviromoto.com does.

I just check enviromoto.com's website and they don't show any NCY DC CDI's that would work on a Kymco Super 8. I saw one for a Honda Ruckus but none for a Kymco....any other suggestions? --Jim |

thank you...I am suprised at how expensive they are though. $114.00 is rather high. Perhaps I need to rethink if a performance CDI will make that much of difference to justify this. --Jim |

doubt it will make 114 dollar difference I am thinking the same thing. Scrappydog Scooter sells on for $29.99 but I am wodering what the quality is like as that is a huge difference in price. --Jim |

Loganes,
What are you expecting out of a Performance CDI? The performance CDI's have the timing a little advanced about 3 degrees, what that does is the plug fires earlier as it is going up on the compression stroke rather than closer to reaching top dead center. It gets a little more power out of the motor.

I paid 70 buck for my naruku cdi about 2 years ago still going strong has not shorted, burnt up yet like those cheap cdi people are always buying and complaining about, and i ride everyday rain or sunshine, but to be honest never had a cheap one go bad yet either lol

I am just sitting here waiting for the weather to improve so I can start riding again and my brain is working overtime. A thought just popped into my brain that perhaps I could change out my OEM CDI with a performance one and see what improvements I could gain. However I am now thinking that perhaps I should just leave it the way it is. --Jim |

Good thinking, also it is not worth anywhere near $100.00 dollars they are ridiculous with those prices called(GREED). At those prices those suckers will sit on their shelves for decades(HA HA).
Also the return is not worth it unless you also have other hotrod mods you are going to put on to make a screamer, then you are looking for any little more you can get.
