Product type
A Motorcycle CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) Unit is an essential electrical component in motorcycle engines that controls the ignition timing and firing of the spark plugs. It stores electrical energy and releases it to the ignition coil, generating a high-voltage spark necessary for combustion. Typically made from durable plastic and electronic components, the CDI unit is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of motorcycle operation.
