Features:

bullet

A complete upgrade of all your electrical components.

bullet

Half the weight 

bullet

Double the Output

bullet

No need to run a battery for race apps. Plus you get 100W halogens.

bullet

Note this is not a Points replacement system. If you just want to loose your points. We would recommend a Martek or Newtronics kit. The fact that the kit does away with your old points system is only incidental. 

bullet

Offers Static Curve or Dynamic Curve based on C.D.I sold with kit.

bullet

Simplifies your complete electrical setup.

bullet

Bright light at low RPMs using special heavy duty magnets. Any bike can power a 100Watt bulb at the redline. Ours works at regular riding speed.

Differences:

 

 Our Kit

 Points Replacements
Allows you to run with out a battery for race apps. Your spark strength is much more stronger because basic input voltage to HT coils is much more. The battery was always the weakest link in the RD electrical system. Requires a battery in good working order to start the bike. Your spark strength is limited to the input voltage the HT coils are feed. In this case its 12 Volts DC
Allows you to run up to 100W halogen bulb for better visibility and safety at night. Even without a Battery. Still stuck with stock 35W headlight bulb. Or you could run a 55Watt and play Russian roulette with your Bat.
Complete upgrade of Electrical system, New RR Unit, New Yamaha loom, New Switch cluster, New Flasher, New clutch lever, New clutch lever yoke, New 2-Pole flasher. New HT Coils with CDI Only replaces points. No RR unit, Harness etc.
Less load on crank end. Lighter and perfectly balanced. Coil plate and Mag drum.  Uses stock rotor and coils. Which are heavy and reduce Crank Life.
Once fitted will outlast the life of the bike. As your getting brand net RR. HT coils, Harness, switch cluster etc. Have to still worry about spares like HT coils, RR unit, Harness, switch clusters etc.
More than doubles strength of spark at plug. Does not change strength of spark. Cant match power of spark.

If you want the puller tool please add 10$ to cover shipping and cost of puller tool.

Note: If you know your RD electrical system you don't need a single option to run the kit. The kit comes with a mini harness that hooks up the Alternator CDI and HT Coils. The bike will start and run. 

Though if you buy the options they just socket into the new harness. And you don't need to splice many  wires. Even with all the options some level of splicing will be required. There is no difference in the kit between the RD350 and RD400 except some of the older RD350s use small mounting screws for the brass plate. 

Note: Total Weight Approx 4.25 Kgs with all options and packing. 

Credits:

The kit project has turned out to be a Linux like project. Where a number of people have played a pivotal role in evolving the kit and fine tuning it. I am embarrassed when people refer to it as the Chinoy C.D.I kit. And would much prefer it if people just called it the 100Watt Yamaha Upgrade.

Please don't feel upset if I have left out your name. Just mail me and Ill pop it in.

Joe for taking the time to explain the wiring circuits of every Jap bike in India. John Roadinser, Tim. Based on their valuable feedback we have made two revisions to the coil plate and changes to the harness. Doubling the output from the CDI.

Note:

If you have ordered the kit. Or are an existing customer please mail us for access to the C.D.I owners section that has a wealth of information and pictures for installation, trouble shooting and setup. Also please mail in your bike pictures.

Warranty:

We reserve to the right to make changes to the kit. In keeping with International norms we do not offer any warranty on electrical items such as C.D.I or HT coils. There is no warranty against Physical damage to the kit. Also returning the kit over such distances is not easy so please ask as many questions as you want. Or for an many referrals as you need. We are not in a position to offer refunds once the kit is sold.  

WARNING:

With the first 100 kits we sent out which where pretty crude by most standards we never had a single complaint. In fact the comments you see above are from our first two customers. Since then the kit has undergone over 100 improvements. Yet we are finding that some people are having a frustrating time installing the kit. We fail to understand this. i.e. why the first 100 kits which where crude went on without any problems and now people are having problems with the much improved kit. The only thing possible is the Hype that has built around the kit. Hence we are adding this warning that the kit needs to be professionally installed. If you are not familiar with working on Engines and wires. Please do not plan to install the kit.. Please arrange for it to be professionally installed. Even though we have tried our best to make sure everything plugs in there still may be the odd wire than needs to be spliced together or connector mismatch. Also there is no difference between the RD350 and RD400 kit. Hence our harness does not have a wire for the oil warning light.

FAQ

bullet

Why cant I use my old coils with kit.

Because the old coils whether stock or performance coils where designed to work with D/C voltage. A/C HT coils are constructed differently. See here.

A/C and D/C HT Coils differences (Diagram).

Testing Primary and Secondary values on a/c & d/c HT Coils.

bullet

It sounds too good to be true so much stuff so cheap

We get this a lot. Well its not too good to be true. If your serious we can give you referrals of people around the world who are running these kits. The only difference is that we are not looking to make a killing on margins with this product. Like our site its more a helpful service to RD owners.

bullet

What about Quality?

None of the customers have reported any Quality issues. Nearly every new customer is willing to offer referrals be a reference. 

bullet

You say this is not a points replacement system. Does this mean I still need to run points or buy a Newtronics / Martek kit.

           No you don't need CB points or a any other kit because the kit replaces the points.
bullet

If I buy the Basic Kit do I need anything else how do the parts interconnect.

If you buy the Basic Kit we will give you the two Y cables to interconnect the system. This will get your  bike started and running. You will then need to wire in the RR Unit and your existing options.
bullet

With this kit wont I be needing a new Regulator and rectifier?

Yes and we include it as part of the kit. If you use another RR unit it would blow.

bullet

Can I fit this to my Kawasaki / Suzuki or X Bike

Yes this kit will work on any motorcycle. That has a crank end sticking out one side of the Crank. The only part you will need to change is the base plate. And maybe machine the Mag drum neck. Both of which are jobs anybody with a machine shop can do for you in under an hour. 

bullet

If your crank end looks anything like this it will probably go right on. The same kit can be used for Single Cylinder and triple cylinder bikes.

bullet


bullet

Can I change when the Advance / Retard Kicks in.

Yes you can but you will need to change your base timings i.e. instead of 2mm BTDC you will need to set it to 1.8 BTDC. This would depend on which Kit you have. Some has advance built in some are static at all RPMs.

bullet

How about replacements if something fails.?
We are so sure that nothing will fail that we offer a lifetime replacement policy on any component for 10$, A brand new RR unit for 10$ how's that for a deal.

 
bullet

I'm very keen on the idea of running an Electronic RPM meter connected to the Logic of the C.D.I. can I?

You any off the popular Digital Tachs. Which work by winding a wire around the HT coil. Or you can buy our Digital two Line LCD display.

bullet

Can I keep my Original Coils.

No the new coils are integrated with the C.D.I so you cant use your original coils. Besides which the new coils will outperform your stock coils. 

bullet

How do I set the timing.

You will need a timing gun to set it. The markers need to line up. Its just like setting the timing on your Car. Mail s for the Timing Document.

bullet

How hard is it to install the kit.

We have simplified the installation as the kit has evolved. It can now be done in  under an hour. Though if you have a non standard RD there are minor issues that may need to be sorted out. i.e. some RD350s have a locating pin at 7'O-clock you will need to grind this out. Or drill a hole in the brass plate.

bullet

What if I want to revert back to my points?

Before installing this kit you will need to remove all your old electrical's. And set them aside. If you want to revert you just put everything back on.

bullet

What do I do with all the old electrical stuff.?

You can store it as a backup. Or sell it on ebay. 

bullet

Why are the prices changing.

The reason for the price changes are due to the changes in the kit. As the kit evolves the prices change. The next stage in the kits evolution will be digital programmable C.D.I.s expect prices to go up again. We are also improving things like the switch cluster. We are also making changes to the CDI circuit to keep improving output.

 
bullet

My friend bought a kit from you but the timing is static.

So far all the kits we have sent out has gone out with the static timing curve.
