Kawasaki Teryx CDI

Information:

Multi-Spark Discharge (MSD) allows for maximum power and virtually eliminates misfires, while giving you easy starts and crisp throttle response. Preloaded performance map allows the machine to run cooler, produce more horsepower and more torque, while minimizing fuel consumption.

Toggle switch on the unit allows user to switch between two preloaded setups. Default preloaded map keeps factory limiters (speed) and similar power when the toggle switch is in position #1. When the toggle switch is in position #2, all limiters are disabled, and the timing is optimized for maximum power on 87 octane fuel. Setups and maps can be changed and optimized for different fuel grades via the USB Memory Interface (sold separately).

Toggle switch – map selector

Conclusion:

The programmability of the CDi is a very nice feature. And the two map feature is a great addition as well. You can have one map for race gas and another for pump gas and swtich between the two in seconds.
