cdi

Hi Lloyd
My simply was derestricted by the dealer when I bought it, I'm not sure if they replaced the cdi with a different one or what. The salesman said something about removing a washer in the exhaust but as I say he was the salesman not the mechanic. My scooter is able to do over 40mph according to the speedo but how accurate that is I don't really know, it's plenty fast enough for me though. I wonder if anyone else here knows the score with regards to this. I think it is safer with it derestricted as it enables me to keep up with the flow of the traffic especially as I do need to use a faster stretch of road. People will try and get past you whether there is room to do so or not if they get held up so it is worth doing. Sorry I can't be more specific than that mate. You don't want to spend money nothing after all! Don't know if your dealer would do it or not (for a price) but it might be worth asking if you get no joy here.

Hi Lloyd
Things are fine with me thanks mate. Had a quick look myself on the web, so many different posts about derestricting Symply scooters it's hard to know what's what! Saw the you tube video about the cdi replacement, seems to make sense to me. Let us know how you get on mate it's always good to know if things work out alright, like I said they only mentioned the washer to me and did it for free before I picked it up so it can't be to hard (famous last words) or they would have made me pay for it.

I don't know how new your Symply is, but just so you are aware: While reading my (really badly translated)owners manual i could swear i read something about it voiding your warranty if the work is not done by an SYM approved mechanic. But de-restricting would be the way to go, especially if, as Jenksy says, you have to use faster pieces of road.

Hi LLoyd just noticed your post regarding CDI unit. I also had a silly price plan from dealer when asking to de-restrict on purchase last November.After doing a bit of research and hearing that buying a De-restricted CDI unit that is not Genuine SYM through The web was a bit risky as many are AC when DC is required and they do not state which they are.Anyway eventually came across Ray Williams Motorcycles in Wales 01544 774814 through E-Bay who was selling Genuine SYM unrestricted CDI's.Ordered one, it arrived as a genuine SYM part.Easy enough to fit....So results.The restriction on the rev limit was removed so reaching 40 mph on a good flat road was not a problem.Do remember though that 50cc 4 stroke engines are by nature under powered so if the road is hilly or on a constant climb speed will still be pretty much as you would expect from a 4t 50cc engine....slow.Worth doing though if have a run of 40mph roads and want to keep as best with traffic.

Take care and enjoy :-)
