Hi to all on this post,I reckon i've had my hyperpak 18 months approx,it hasn't given me any problems and although i've still got my stock cdi which is in good working order I can honestly say there is no big difference in starting or running performance.If its any comfort to anybody thats having problems with the hyperpak I found Wayne to be a straight up bloke who I'm sure will sort any problems you have,perhaps his testing procedure before despatch may be in question judging by members comments.
Andy

Update on the subject: I received an eMail from Wayne in NZ this morning stating that he'll check on the unit and let me know status tomorrow morning.......so I must assume they have received it.
Nice of him to reply so promptly. Hoping that he sends me a tested, proven unit whether it is a replacement or they fix the original.
Odds are very good that he will......stay tuned!

Hi aero, Idont know squat about how these little black box things work, but I do know when one performs better than another. This unit is on a dirttrack motor, and it goes on the throttle stop twice a lap. Having rode on the same tracks with the original cdi box, and the hyperpak unit, with no other changes to the motor, i can only assume that the hyperpak is responsible for better engine performance. The motor would brickwall[ literally like riding into a barrier when the motor no longer accelerates,] but the hyperpak does not have this problem. I assumed that it is because it advances further and lets the motor keep driving. Idont know the ins and out of why this is, i only know from having my arse on the seat that the hyperpak performs better. When yours comes on the market, I'll buy one and give it a work out, hopefully with a gain over the hyperpak. Cheers Franky b.

That would be great if you do. I've put a lot of work in to understand exactly how these work and delvelop something that works as well or better then orginal, but remains totally interchangeable with orginal parts. Having independant tests to back up my work would indeed be a bonus.
As an aside, if you engine was 'brickwalling' the original CDi box may have failed, some times they will let the engine run, but not at high rpm or it was mis matched to the generator. Wayne once told me that the hyperpak will work on either type of generator, where as the Yamaha boxes won't and causes that type of effect if you get them the wrong. Maybe that was your problem?
My boxes are matched to the generator, so if you are unsure which set up you have you will need the part number off the stator.

Well, here it is, Saturday morning in the good ol' USA and I haven't heard from Wayne Gum about the status of the unit. Summer down there, and he's probably trout fishing near Auckland or climbing Egmont. Again, being the patient person that I am, will give him until Monday morning my time before I call in the reserves. I don't know if he's got these units on the shelf or builds to order. Also don't know if his Electronic Research and Development company is a one man band in the garage or a small New Zealand concern with dozens of employees. I'm sure he has bigger fish to fry than my little one.
But I don't have a clue if a replacement is forthcoming and I my wallet is 150 dollars lighter. Am very glad that my original CDI unit still works and I did have a fun blast on the SR yesterday. If I was solely dependent on the Hyperpak I would probably not be so patient. Let's hope this story has a happy ending......more chapters forthcoming.

 Still no word from Wayne about the unit, so I pulled the trigger on eBay Resolution before the complaint window closes just to protect my expenditure. Still hopeful, possibly naively, that he'll respond. Told him I preferred a replacement Hyperpak but in lieu of that, a full refund via Paypal.....his choice. I'll get my money back ultimately through Paypal resolution. It's a shame that sometimes transactions come down to this. I'll let you guys decide if you want to do business with him....Life is full of risks....some are successful, some are not.

Hi Aero, you could be right about a mismatched cdi. The whole bike is a collection of mismatched bits that was built using bits that were laying about the shed. As you seem to have a good grip on these electrics, you may be able to help me with this. I put a 93 sr ignition on att500 motor early this year, and I noticed that the little trigger coil on the 93 is a solid state unit, not wire wound like most. Would these readily interchange? Cheers Franky b.

Its unlikely they would. The pick ups are matched to the box, which is why they don't interchange.
I must say I don't have much info on the XT/TT at present. I am building up a detailed data base of what goes with what, so far I only have information on the early SRs.
I'd say though rule of thumb 78/79 inter change- 80/81 also and 82 on is different again. none of those will interchange with other years. I've got a box that works on the early stuff, need to get my hands on a late bike to see what set up its got.

And the saga continues, dear readers! Wayne sent a replacement module out just before he moved his operation and computer so was in "limbo" for a time, not getting eMail nor sending any. He completely understands my stance and wanting resolution, and is gentlemanly enough to offer me a refund if that is my choice. I'll take him up on that if the replacement does not work and I'll send it back. I'm hoping all will be resolved with a working replacement and I can dissolve the eBay resolution request.
So.......kudos to Wayne for doing the right thing on this issue. I'll report again after installation and see if we get fire in the hole.
