i seen that too. nowt to do with hrc tho.
Id be very wary of them tho, they are a good price and could be great. id be worried about customer backup and help with setup.
dynopro racing have been doing there own custom programable cdi's for most bikes, including the zxr, and will back theres up with setup and advice. they cost a bit more, but not much.

Do you reckon there is much to be gained from the dynopro?

Something to be setup by a pro with a dyno i guess?

i think all these gadgets only offer slight improvements and the only place where these improvements matter and are noticed are on the track,

if its for a road bike, save your money

its one of those things with the 400's init. after you have done all the usual things like exhaust system, ramair and fueling, upping compression. thats it on the big hp increase. then it starts costing alot more for alot smaller increases of power.
I think the biggest plus of the dynopro cdi is you can up the rev limit to, well whatever you want, but you could emulate the sp box at 15600 or whatever it is, and gain a few hp that way.
I havent tried one yet as i have a modded standard cdi, but i might when i get faster.
where about are you dude? ive probs asked before! if your local ish to runcorn, dynopro are worth checkin out with you racebikes, they race 400's among others themselves so know the score.
did you enjoy the manx? and are you plannin on havin a go :smt004

I'm in Pontefract, not so far from runcorn that i wouldn't make a journey if it was worth while.

I never made it to the manx, a well known chap who builds sv650 race bikes built my mates and on the 3 times he attempted to ride it, the thing blew up big time eating pistons and barrels. So he was set to come home when i was ready to go over there to help out etc, he had to wait though as all the ferries were fully booked. He rode his triumph in the junior earlier this week and yesterday someone felt sorry for him and lent him an sv for the ultra lightweight, he brought it home 11th on an unknown bike with a slipping clutch which he is well chuffed with.

If you ever meet me and my mum is there 'no i dont ever fancy the manx' :smt002 :smt003 Maybe 2010? If it still exists then
