The CDI will draw only 12 watts (1 amp) from the
battery as opposed to the 32 watts of the original system, allowing a
more powerful headlight to be used.. The points will last almost
indefinitely and ignition timing will stay set for very much longer. The
 inbuilt timing lights make initial setup a breeze. A "hidden" antitheft
switch can be installed to prevent the bike starting by grounding the
GREY CDI wire.
