I did what you are considering only I switched from a high lifter module. I do not know how the dg is installed but with my hl module I just sodered the connection that was broken in the wire and used electrical tape until I got some heat shrink insulation. Just use caution because as you know cdi's are not cheap. By the way what cdi did you decide to go with and why?

I haven't bought one yet because I was worried about changing.I will have to go look at how my module is hook up now its been a while since Ive looked at it. It would be nice if its just spliced in to the stock cdi now ,and I can just unplug the stock cdi. Seems like everyone is very please with the cdi Dynatek makes. Unless I hear different thats what I hope to try next.

You can leave the DG holeshot module plugged in at the same time you install the Dyna CDI. It won't hurt a thing b/c the Dyna CDI simply ignores the speed sensor signal coming from the holeshot module. I once had both hooked up at one time (the original DG holeshot and the Dyna CDI) and it ran fine.

Ditto on leaving the Holeshot Hooked up. My old holeshot and Dyna CDI has been installed for over a year. CDI is best bang for buck.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Do you know if they have the bugs worked out on the Cdi for the most part? Seems like they are hit and miss on reliability.

I think its still hit or miss on whether you get a reliable one from the factory. FYI: I have a good Dyna CDI (its been very reliable) for sale now on e-bay. Send me a PM if you want more info.

I had absolutely no problem with my highlifter module. I replaced it because my belt light came on and tried everything I could find to turn it of. The switch wasn't tripped and the belt defliction was only at .9" the belt wasn't glazed. I wasn't paying my local dealer ,who's service department really sucks, to turn off a light and get the thing out of limp mode so I bought the cdi from dynatek. I still have mine for sale at $75 with wiring instructions. If you want more info on it email me at jaymarilyn@netzero.com
