It's hard to say if you get any advantages by doing so I don't Believe the hard starting is too far Advanced on the CDI boxes more like retarded. Trucker mentioned that you can plug-in any CDI from Kawasaki & it should work. Go ahead and try it tell us how it turns out. Every application is different meaning trail too wild porting (race Application). I cannot answer your 1st question accurately because I never tried it.
