I got 2.5ohm resistance whilst hot after the few minutes it took me to get access ! No CDI or ECU damage.

Head access was my main reason for doing this & I'll be fitting a big bore 282cc later in the year.
0.5 ohm difference is no big deal for sure!

Dropping it from 3 to 0.5 ohm would be a not so good thing.
