s'ok its back on now. good job too it was back on just in time for the beasting i got yesterday from em! hahaha i woudda been in for it if the can was off aswell!

I have a spare UK spec CDI unit in my garage.. if you plugged that into an import surely that would give you full power?! maybe..

where would it plug into?

Unplug your CDI unit.. and plug mine in.. straight swap..

If you take off your seat.. and your CDI unit has a blue sticker.. then it will already be the UK version.. if its a red or yellow sticker then its the Jap Import one..

Have a check first..

ah i had my seat off and was wanderin wat that was! lol there was def a sticker on ther il go see wat colour it is..

Its a black box about 15cm's long and 10cm's wide.. the sticker on it will have coloured writing.. what colour is the writing

here's the pics!..

Thats a full power UK spec CDI unit

sweet

Johnny in newton got pulled over for having no can, he was nailed for it.

I think at the most they'll do you for no insurance as you have violated the terms and seize the bike and give you a fine. They might be able to give you a section59 for it or just a little telling off

Tom if your clocks already read in mph then it will not need a converter fitting, it is only for Japanese domestic market vehicles. Check on the back of the clocks and the CDI unit, if there is a pink wire running between them then it will have the speed restrictor built into the speedo, if there's no pink wire then it will not need a converter fitting. A converter will cost you around £25 rather than £90 for an Mmax box.

i have the cdi unit as you can see. but my clocks are in kmh and i have the pink wire

Check the back of your clocks to see if there's a pink from the speedo, if there is then you will need to run your bike flat out intop gear to see if it restricts at 112mph or 180kph and what your revs are at,if it does then do another run after disconnecting your speedo and see if it revs all the way out in top if it does then you probably have a speed restricted bike and will need to fit a converter onto your speedo ( a blue one not gold converter)
