sv650s cdi

[bobsere]

anyone know if you can replace a curvy 650 naked cdi with a 650s cdi of the same year i.e would the 650s one be setup any different to give more pep

[svrash]

I'm sure there the same :?

[Sid Squid]

Yes, but it's not a CDI.

[bobsere]

what is it called then ?

[Sid Squid]

An ignition unit/black box/ignitor/ etc etc.
CDI, as you probably know, means Capacitor Discharge Ignition, which is quite different from the conventional negative switched, (ie earth), transistorised coil and battery system that is most common on Jap bikes nowadays.
