I have the 157QMJ motor on the Trike and have always been getting Kickbacks when I start my Trike with the performance CDIs. And more so after the Big Bore Kit and 2+2 Stroker Crank due to the high compression, It sounds nasty like the Starter Clutch gears or Starter Gears are going to break. I bought other Performance CDIs and they all caused Kickbacks and the only one that did NOT KickBack was the OEM Standard CDI which DOES NOT have advanced timing. So I was googling for a CDI that would be retarded at low rpms and advance the timing as your RPMS RISE. Well I found one that sounded promising and was going to order it and try it out. I First asked JOHN our TVANCMAN if he had one or if he could get me one. He said yes which one did I want and sent me a list and pictures which had a short description. I told him which one I wanted the GY6 AC Advancing Angle Performance CDI. They come in different colors by different manufactuers etc.. I just picked one of them and I am a happy camper no more kickbacks and a little more power to boot. Well John got the shipment in and sent me the CDI, I immediately put it on. Well It is FANTASTIC!! I hit the start button and it immediately Fired up NO KICKBACK and get this it IDLED at 1100rpms!! I had to raise the Idle to 1500rpms. The sucker idles really smooth I go by the MIRRORS if they Vibrate or not(HAHA). I naturally pulled the trike out and cranked a little just around my neighborhood It was cold and windy and I did not bother to put on my helmet or jacket just in my short sleeve shirt. It is GREAT!! Just what I was hoping for here is what it looks like: Alleyoop

I get kickbacks when starting mine. When I was having my ignition coil problem the mechanic was telling me I had a bad cdi which was causing the kickbacks. Is my CDI possibly a cause for my speed issue? Good to hear alley!

Yes, the CDI may not be letting it get up in RPMS. Alleyoop

The cdi is controlling the ignition timing. Seems as if Alley has found the cdi that has the correct curve for his engine setup.
