changing px cat exhaust
mate got a standard px125 with the cat exhaust which has started to rot, can he just remove said item and replace with any after market exhaust or will he after alter jetting timing etc.

What does the restricted CDI look like. Mines a 51 plate px125 with a blue CDI unit. Would this be restricted and if you can change em what am I looking for. Just about to put a DR180 kit on mine.

Will need up jetting even with a std exhaust put on it.
I had a 2008 px and fitted a genuine std. Non cat pipe went up to a 98 main, also changed other jets but can't rem sizes off hand(look on the lml forum there is a link to the scootering article and all the jet sizes are on it)
Also drilled a 5mm and 3mm hole in filter above jets and up jetted main to 100.
This made a big difference pulled really strongly through gears and topped out at 60 mph +++
Cheers mike

So if I get a new PX125 / 150 and I want to put a kit on, I have to change the CDI too? Reason I'm asking is I plan on doing this!
