Aftermarket CDI box

[swcole]

I bought a Dynatek 3000 CDI box and installed it on the old 'Nad. Since I have a hypercharger, V&H pipes and a jet kit installed I was thinking the new cdi box would "wake up" the engine a little. My question is:

If I change the timing, should I have to change the idle fuel/air mixture?

The reason I ask is after the install, (the timing was set to as close to factory settings as I can) I rode around the block quick and at idle the bike sounded like it was going to die.

The one thing that could be throwing me off is the bike was cold, ( it was 40 outside) I guess I should have warmed it up more first.

I wouldn't think that you have to adjust the timing, it should be a plug and play. You may not even be able to adjust the timing on our bikes, but Im not positive on that fact. The ecu controls the spark advance and gets its readings from the sensors.

I would suggest letting the bike warm up to operating temperature and then judge how the bike reacts. It should make a lot of difference. Haven't heard of anyone messing with the timing. Might need to adjust the idle speed though.

the dyna 3000 should be programed with the right advance curve. it should also be able to increase the rev limit. i had one on my rstd and it had several choices on the rev limit. i'm not sure about the nomad. read the instructions carefully or call the dyna tech line.

If it is possible to adjust timing with this thing (because on all the FI models the timing is non-adjustable) that would be great, because you could retard the timing a couple of degrees and get rid of pinging, and be able to run regular gas, even in the hottest months.

Thanks for all of the info. I'm going to take it out again in a few days but this time I will let it fully warm up and see how things work.
