I've now had a few runs up the hill since doing the CDI swap and I have to say I don't notice the advance curve enhancing power.

It does rev past the redline, so I know the CDI is working as advertised.

That being said... I love the change.

I'm one of those that hates hitting the rev limiter. It happens all too often with this bike when gearing down to pass someone quickly while traveling uphill. With the new CDI, that problem is a thing of the past. I'm usually pretty aware of when the bike is near the redline by the engine wail, but now it doesn't fall on its face when I need to make that pass should I hit the stock engine ignition cutoff when doing so.

Thanks again, Sam, for the well detailed DIY and the help you provided offline.
