    cdi mod for your 400ex

    I am sure some of you this but I just thought I would pass this on.
    Many aftermarket CDI boxes sold for the 400EX are actually stock Honda XR250R boxes. The unmodified XR250 box will give you about 800 more rpm on top and a faster ignition curve. You can purchase this directly from your local Honda dealer and save money.
    Order: CDI for Honda XR 250 1992-2004
    Part #30410-KCE-671

    Interesting, how does the EX respond to the 250r box besides 800rpm more?

    I'm not sure they're any cheaper than the "aftermarket" CDIs listed for the 400EX. I just checked DGY and they sell the XR250 CDI for $100. And they are considerably cheaper than most OEM part stores. You can get the AMR Stage 3 CDI for like $80 on eBay. I still don't believe CDIs are worth the money, anyways.

    Did you guy's know that you can actually use almost "ANY" cdi box.

    Really, all you do is re-wire it to your application.

    90% of scooter's and chinese atv's have the same wiring and plug's as a 400ex also, the timing curve and sometimes rev limit is decreased alot in these box's but some do work.

    We once used a kawasaki sportbike coil and cdi on a 1984 suzuki lt250ef atv. It really didnt make any difference on performance with that atv, but did work really well.
