Pulse Adrenaline CDI, Help Required

[Vroooom]

Hello, I have recently bought a new CDI for my Pulse Adrenaline and was wondering if anyone could point me towards the whereabouts of the CDI on the bike. I believe the Adrenaline has the same engine as a Suzuki EN-125 if that helps. Just wanted to fit it myself, looks simple enough, just to save myself from taking it down my local shop which is occupied by a bunch of "waste my time with rubbish" mechanics. Thanks in advance.

It's under the seat. Large-ish (about 4 inches by 2.5, give or take) black plastic box, with (dependent on the year of the bike) two plugs coming out of it. Some years have got one plug. I'll go home and check mine, if you need more specifics than that, but as I say - they changed between years.
I'm guessing you bought the CDI from Xian Racing - make sure that you're positive the connections are the same. I think their kit is usually for pre-2008 models, but I'm not 100% on that.

Thankyou! I will give it a look shortly. Yes I did get it from Xian Racing Caerphilly, made sure it would fit my bike though (2008). Will get back to you with the outcome, many thanks!

[Vroooom]

Excellent! Thanks for your help, fitted and working wonderfully!

[nowhere.elysium]

Be warned: mine is also an '08, and their CDI didn't fit. I know that they update their stock pretty frequently, but I had to send back a lot of stuff to them.
The kit that I ended up fitting can be found here. To be honest, give it an air filter and a new exhaust, and that's probably the most you're likely to get out of it. I'm not sure if a new CDI will unlock any untapped reserves of horsepower...

EDIT - didn't see that you'd already fitted it. Any chance of a link?

hi,
i wouldnt mind seeing a pic of the CDI also.
just curious to see what xian are selling, as i know gareth the guy that set up xian & he knows his stuff about chinese bikes, though most of these so called "race" cdi's are a waste of money.
curious to see if he has any upgraded stuff.(with rev limiters removed etc)
i know the cdi he gave me actually made the bike run worse!
(seem to be a bit hit & miss these things)
glad he gave me it for free, for testing out.
i must add that a decent carb & open air filter makes the biggest improvement.
cheers,
GAZ

I've been wondering about the carb, as it goes: the one I was sent didn't fit properly, but I was anxious to give the upgrade another go with the change of can and filter. What's the most popular size/make/type?

CDI I bought here...

Removes the rev limiter and increases acceleration ever so slightly, got it at a huge discount with the Kamikaze Pro exhaust i also bought which can be found here...

I am going to fit the exhaust to tomorrow, I will let you know if it it lives up to my expectations.

Can you recommend a good air filter?

Just go for any of the cheapo pod filters that'll fit your carb. You needn't spend more than £5-6 on it. Just measure the outer diameter of the air intake on carb accurately, or you'll have a bugger of a time fitting it.

I fitted the exhaust a few days ago, fantastic upgrade. Makes the bike a hell of a lot more torquey with a great boost in acceleration. Not sure when either peice has done to the top end yet as I haven't yet taken it out of the city. Recommend them both though.

If you are going to fit a different carb and air flter you might want to concider those fitted to 125cc pitbikes since they already run pod filters/ free flow exhaust and are jetted for them.

Hi I have a pulse adrenaline and I would like to fit a k&n air filter on it but it has a few tubes coming out off that carb all ready and not shore how to fit one on the pulse and is there anything what I can put on like a performance kit or something to make it go faster thanks.

[nowhere.elysium]

[Billy93]

Ok thanks very much and do you no where I can get some led light bulbs and new plastics thanks.

[nowhere.elysium]

[Billy93]

Thanks for your help and what does that stand for,for the plastics would you be able to put a link on here please thanks.

[nowhere.elysium]

No worries. The acronym that I wrote stands for Chinese motorcycle parts online, and it already is a link - see where it's blue, instead of black? That means that it's a clickable link.

Ok thanks for your help mate.

[tony w]

i also have a pulse adrenaline just wondering once you fitted the new parts what sort of top end speed was you getting

[ala123driving]

hi can anyone tell me were can i get a racing cdi for my pulse adrenaline 125 and who makes it thanks alan

[nowhere.elysium]

It'll just be a waste of your money. All it'll do is raise the rev limit slightly, and shorten the engine lifespan.
