When i get my engine overhaul done would it be advantageous to get the Femsatronic swapped over to a Ducati just to be on the safe side? It has not given me any trouble.

I hear a lot of people doing this?

Thanks,Brian

They're doing it because you have little choice when your curent femsatronic CDI goes out. The femsa box that scooterworks sells is an absolute turd....and a pricey one at that.

If you are sitting on a stockpile of femsatronic CDI's, you're golden. Otherwise the Ducati swap is cheap and easy, and just requires switching around wires, getting a cdi, and putting the bracket on the back of your engine.

The Femsatronics are becoming more and more extinct from my browsing point of view . Also you never know if they have any life left in them?
