CDI Platina 100

Product Description

The CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) is an essential component in the ignition system of a motorcycle. It's responsible for controlling the timing of the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber. Here's how it works:

1. Ignition Timing Control: The CDI determines the precise moment when the spark plug should fire by measuring engine speed and other factors. It ensures that the spark occurs at the optimal time during the engine's combustion cycle, maximizing power output and fuel efficiency.

2. Voltage Regulation: The CDI regulates the voltage supplied to the ignition coil, ensuring a consistent and powerful spark regardless of variations in engine speed or load.

3. Spark Generation: When the CDI receives a signal from the engine's sensors indicating that it's time to ignite the air-fuel mixture, it rapidly charges up a capacitor. Once fully charged, the capacitor discharges, releasing a high-voltage pulse of electricity to the ignition coil. The ignition coil then amplifies this pulse and sends it to the spark plug, where it generates the spark needed to ignite the fuel mixture.

CDI systems are preferred over older points-based ignition systems due to their greater reliability, efficiency, and precise timing control. They are commonly found in modern motorcycles, offering improved performance and smoother engine operation.
