If you’ve ever suffered from a low tension coil failure on a Lambretta you’ll know how frustrating it is. A scooter you’ve been riding to a rally suddenly won’t start again, without warning you’ve lost your spark. It means a roadside stripdown if you have a spare stator, or a trip home on a recovery truck. Well not any more, this Lukas CDI by Readspeed will replace the low tension coil, or provide a quick fix.
Exclusive to Readspeed
The Lukas is on sale on pre-release from today. It’s a totally new type of Lambretta CDI unit designed to bypass the low tension coil, a common cause of Lambretta breakdowns. We’ve not had chance to test one yet at SLUK but Readspeed have been developing it for the last year and report very good results. It simply replaces your existing CDI, or can be kept in your toolbox for the next time your stator goes down out on the road. Simply swap your existing CDI over for the Lukas and away you go again. Aside from getting you back on the road in an emergency, the Lukas also claims to have the following benefits…
Benefits
- Better starting
- Improved Low RPM response
- Re-use of failed stators, where the low tension coil has failed
- Fraction of the cost compared to new ignition system
- Small enough to carry in a scooters tool box
- Can resolve stator breakdowns, fast at roadsides or rallies
Available from the SLUK Shop now priced at £79.99.
