Aftermarket CDI???

Hey guys, if you know me I am kind of new here and just getting into the spree scene. I see on Ebay these cheap aftermarket CDI computers. Any good?

Save your money. These aftermarket CDIs, unless you get into $300 ones with adjustable timing, are not as good as your stock CDI. There will be NO performance increase and their reliability is way less than the manufacturer's.

Phew good thing I asked before I impulsively bought lol. Thanks

I run one of these on my 85 engine, and I'm pretty impressed. I don't notice much/any power increase, but it makes the bike run, lol. Unfortunately I didn't see Bear's post until after running mine for 2+ months, so I can't say anything about lasting long. However, it's cheaper than the genuine Honda CDI. I got a brand-new high-output coil and CDI for $25, on ebay everyone wanted like $35 for a used genuine CDI.

Use it at your own risk. I say I'm impressed because when I bought the bike, it had a failing CDI that made the engine run like sh*t. So I don't know what it should've run like with the genuine CDI.

most people will sell used cdi fairly cheap (like 10$) so they are normaly cheaper the ones on ebay are high and thats y they r still on their.

Yeah, but I figured at the time I'd rather go for something brand new, and the deal seemed good.
