anybody got a stock one laying around, was thinking about geting a high RPM CDI but dont really ride in that range. But I need to get a new one I think mine is bad but no way to check it other than risk burning out another coil and plug wire!!

 

There are a few on ebay going for less than 50 bucks.

 

I dont want to pay more than $30 shipped, I would go ahead and get a high RPM one if I got to pay more than that. Has anyone upgraded the coil and plug wire?? or the rectfier?? did it make a difference??

 

50 would have been a deal for me. I blew my cdi back in the summer of 03 and the only choice I had was oem or a 450 dollar dyna. I had to shell out 300 for oem. Kind of being a little stingy arent you? Even the cheap junk aftermarket ones go for about 120+.

 

Why do you think you need a new one? Here's what I found with mine this weekend. The wires come out of the bottom. They were rubbing on the plastc bottom area of the battery compartment. I found 5 or 6 that were rubbed threw to the wire and 1 was hanging together by a thread. I was having wierd problems and this is what I found, worht checking out if you haven't checked that yet. You'll need to remove the CDI from the compartment to see this possible problem.

 

yep, did that and is what led me to think the cdi is bad. found two that were exposed and grounding against each other, so pulled out the harness and fixed it, then turned the CDI so the connector face up to keep it from happening again. my coil tests bad it does not read according to the book, and when I put another one on it blew it out too so I think the raw wires shorted something in the cdi causing it to blow up the coiul and plug wires so thats why I need both, I think...

 

I havent heard of any CDI doing that, even on street bikes. I had a few bikes that I thought it was something else but have found out that if its the cdi it wont run at all. Its good or its bad. I would check your whole wiring harness and see if you find other bare wires. Other wise I have two cdi's but wont let them go for less than 50.00 each.

 

it doesnt run at all, it worked fine one min then was dead the next! thanks for the offer on the CDI's I'll see what happens..

 

I have one that I will sell for 50$ if you are interested. Its off an 02 and worked perfect when I took it off.

That would be 50$ shipping included...

Later,
Mike
