Default 430W START UP
The second start up screen always has 'RMI 135' on it.
What is this?
Thanks for helping resolve a question that no one around here knows...
Maybe the answer is who cares?

Means that it is outputting the RMI (radio magnetic indicator) pointing to 135 degrees. (test mode)

If you rotate your CDI needle, you should see the numbers change to confirm communication with the CDI. The number 135 is the default factory setting. You can actually change that to any number, but the purpose is that during the power up, set your CDI to 135 and the needle should be centered.
