I'm running an aprilia rally 50 and i think i'm hitting up against the rev limiter. can anyone help me figure out which wire is for the rev limiter? i'm considering just replacing the stock cdi with a perf model but moneys kinda limited, and i'm not sure which 1 will work best with my stock minirelli setup. if anyone could give me a hand figuring this out i would greatly appreciate it.

I've been lucky and never owned a scoot limited by the CDI. I have heard others offer good methods for figuring out which wire is a limiter when you are unsure however. The best method I have heard is to remove one wire at a time. Don't cut the wire, but rather carefully remove it's pin from the harness. If the scooter starts, runs, and the kill switch and ignition switch still function, give it a try and see if the rev limit is gone. If it fails to do any of the afore mentioned, replace the wire and move on to the next.

well i tried the process of elimination on my cdi trying to figure out which wire was for the rev limiter with no luck, not sure it even has 1. all 5 wires on the cdi are accounted for. BUT while in the process though i double checked the exhaust for any restriction and found it, removed it and got a little more top speed out of it so i'm happy ;D!!! now on to getting the bbk ordered and installed (:drool:ing). i shouldn't have to rejet the carb just by opening up the exhaust should i? has even better launch now than it did so i'm not sure.

Good job finding it. I think you'll be OK, but it never hurts to take a look at the spark plug to see if it looks lean. o do it right, you'd need to install a new plug and check it after a WOT run.

run it about 3-5 miles and done that and came out with a light brown plug. ok? always read that a white plugs running lean, black running rich and almost any shade of brown ok.

With 2Ts you want a fairly dark colored plug. Like a caramel color.
The peg leg is probably emissions.

A pic or two would be helpful in identifying your stuff.  |

well i installed a new polini clutch and bell i bought from 2strokd and got a little better over all performance.  having a hard time tellin a difference between the stock 6g rollers and the 5.5g ones i got from 2strokd. they both launch good but 5.5 seems to get a little better top speed so i'm gonna run them for awhile and see how it does on a day when its not so windy. i'm quite happy with the polini, thanks 2strokd. tried to post a pic but not sure if it will work or not. |

I am glad your are happy with the clutch shakerdriver :thumb: ! Like i said before, if you plan on putting a BBK and or pipe on soon anymore tuning is pretty much pointless. I do have more if you need em tho. Glad it helped |

Well thank you for the products, the advise, and the compliment on the rally. I think I'm gonna hold off till I get the bbk and try to get the pipe pretty soon as well. I did notice when I came back from my dads house awhile ago that I was able to get up to about 44mph ;D. His street has trees lining both sides so it cut down on the wind. Not bad for a stock engine, perf clutch, stock pipe and and my 360lbs body. Can't wait to see what the bbk will do for it. :drool: I'm working on getting the suggested photo problem delt with so I can post the build up, but till I can get my phone to accept the software I'll just have to keep using words.
