I have the same problem too. I just posted asking the same question. The bad news is CDI for vtec 1 no longer in production, i was told the only way to go is to convert to vtec 2 or 3 CDI which means the meter key will have to be replaced and its going to cost at least $2k.

[Q] Hi Guys,I am currently riding CB400 Super Four Vtec 1 registered 2001 it is in its 15th year now. Mileage probably be at 200K plus(Faulty Speedometer) I have recently sent my bike for top service and replaced certain parts that have gone bad. Such as pistons and my coolant pump etc. I was informed by the mechanic during the repair that my CDI was going bad but could still be used. As i have spent a lot on other repairs ($3k) i decided against replacing the CDI thinking i can do it on another time but however upon testing the bike i found that the bike didn't respond as it should. Symptoms: when throttling(moving off) or after clutching in there is a slight delay before power gets through and when it does it will stutter. Vtec still opens at 7k as per normal and when in high rev it was smooth.. Once you close throttle and open it again you can feel the stutter too... I went back and was told it was because the CDI wasn't providing enough power for the bike to throttle cleanly. I was also informed that because Vtec 1 cdi is no longer in production i would have to convert to either vtec 2 or vtec 3 cdi in which the whole meter would have to be replaced. Cost will be a lot too at least another ($2k) I was also offered a local cdi but i didn't think it would be worth it since it won't last long. I am not sure if the prob is due to the CDI or a poorly tuned carbs(According to mechanic he has tuned it) Has anybody faced this problem before and is it worth to repair or just sell it? Hope someone can shed some light in this Thank you Warmest Regard Ezzat Fahmy
