they are a good idea but..

i think the zeel would be a overkill for a bike with only diffrent pipes and reeds , its getting no more engine mods .

as i hate having problems with tuning its my no1 hate in life

i just want to get on the dam bike and ride it

if bike with diffrent carbs and some porting yes i would go and get one

i have to many bikes that dont get ridden because they are not 100% . but im working that out on all of them

The good thing about zeeltronic is that it isn't only for modified bikes.

You can set-up standard programme and have the advantage of one small unit replacing two, disadvantage is that unless you have a knackered unit to sacrifice the standard connectors you would have to wire in new/different connectors.

funny you show that

i did email him last night and he was very abusive to me , a down right wanker to put it nicley

he said make an offer, i did not any lower than the start price and he got mad and told me not so nicley to piss off , so few nasty emails back and forth

i thought rz owners are usually willing thelp each other out. not that guy

very entertaining haha

You mean his starting price is 100 but he's actually expecting 500!!!

and no need for him to get nasty over it???


You might be better off, time and money wize, going for the Zeel?

i d go for zeeltronic , have bought over six complete units already and very happy with them , okay they re hard to setup for someone who s not skilled in electrics , but that also counts for all the other brands .

i paid about 230 euro s last time for a PCDI20v , that s all in one unit for the RGV/RS/TZR3XV ,pvs , solenoids and ignition programming ,switching maps while riding etc..and all is programmable via laptop or handheld programmer (program is free download)
Borut also repaired one of my units for free when i accidentaly blewed up one off the outputs

nothing then goods for the service after

Hi vma500 !
You seen to have some experience with Zeeltronics.
I wisit their website and there is a couple of CDI:s to choose between.
Wich one would you recommend ?
Ref wiring/ install a ZeelCDI to the bike is no problem.
But the programming it up is a complete other task.
On that (if I end up buing one) I surely gonna need some assistance.

sorry for the late reply

am still using the old VCDI-04 and the PPV-RZ modules on my RD500 (3 modules ),these units still need the handheld programmer ,i used the newer ones (PCDI -20v= 3 in 1) on my TZR s ,RGV.

more modern unit for the RD500 is the PCDI-24v , this is the unit where u can program the ignition advance seperatly from both banks .
Wolfgang talked also about a more advanced newer one PCDI-44 ? wich has 4 seperate outputs for the coils
plse ask Borut ....he s very helpfull

http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/viewto ... 11&t=12317

was 120 posted world wide .

they dont sell at that . so lets up the price to 150

im not staying in this 500 game much longer . there are too many people world wide that want gold for there scummy 500 parts

its killing the fun of ever riding the bike . something goes wrong and you have to get a part and then your out $1000 and not much to show for it

might aswell get a r6

I just paid 115 GB Pounds ($200 US here) shipped for one on eBay. Anyone that wants it can have it for the same price. And yes, I see your point with prices. Seems some eBay sellers are driving all 500 parts prices higher. Supply and demand will soon end the ability for the average guy to build a bike. The RZ350 parts are going the same way. It's just bloody silly.

Hey Nzminis, your right I did put the price of the cdi units up, on the advice of another forum member saying they were selling for around £200 on Ebay.
I did have a few people asking about them, but as my bike was away having some work done (cost a small fortune) I couldn't test them, now I know there all working perfectly.
Sorry you feel exasperated by 500 ownership, I feel your pain, everything I do or want to do to my bike is expensive.
Im not sure when you bought each one of your 3 RVZ 500's, but, Ill bet you wont sell them for what you paid, Why would you, you would want there current market value,
and the only way to find that value is by seeing what there currently being advertised/sold for.
Thing is It's all relative, the price of spares has increased inline with our bikes.
Went out for the first time this year on mine last weekend in the sunshine. There great bikes
