What kind of CDI does a KDX 200 have?
I am a dirt bike riding electronics technician and years ago I owned the 1989 Kawasaki KDX 200 SR which was a great dirt bike and had a broad enough powerband to also be good on the street. When the CDI went bad I was told of a man that repaired them.
How can I adjust the KDX performance CDI?
Via two internal switches you can adjust the timing curve. Quality Control: The KDX Performance CDI does not have the variation of timing between each one than what the original CDI has. The original uses resistors with +/- 5% values, and capacitors with +/- 10% values.

What are the resistors on a KDX performance CDI?
Quality Control: The KDX Performance CDI does not have the variation of timing between each one than what the original CDI has. The original uses resistors with +/- 5% values, and capacitors with +/- 10% values. At what RPM the timing curve starts to retard depends in part on its resistance of 1264 ohms and capacitance of 4.7uf.
