    Nothing will come close to a rolling road tune-up session, as that will get the best out of all of your mods and upgrades in one go. If you want the best performance it's money well spent. 😉

    @ninja On a car, yes, but on a Carb Bike, ey? The base maps will give a noticeable increase in power throughout the rev range. After that, it's just subtle changes that will only register on a dyno.

    Merely because the CDI only controls the ignition at one point in time. Unlike an ECU which will consider, temperature, load, stress, oil pressure. Then controls fueling as well as ignition. Much more precisely and therefore far more gains.

    Get an ignition, will sweeten the whole bike. Then uprate the fueling, And you'll be laughing.,

            @ryanjimccfc A programmeable CDI is the next must have upgrade for you then. As that will bring out the best from all those other parts for-sure. 😉

                  @ninja Fuck. @Darty Called it ain't he. He's only gone and used the most vaguest term known to man.

                  @Darty I apologise for being such a smug self centered poorick!

                    @ryanjimccfc The beauty of the zeel is honing in that powervalve timing. You can make such a big difference by adjusting the openings of it. For like city riding and stuff. And no risk of detonating the engine either.

                        @calum I don't have a working servo for the power valve because basicly I brought the bike as just a frame and have built it up from there so I just ended up pinning the power valve open

                          @ryanjimccfc Yeah, definitely worth getting the valve sorted. Makes it so much more tractable.

                                @ryanjimccfc Alright. Make sure the casting is flawless and that everything fits without imperfections.
