CDI Test

[Lowandslow]

I decided to replace my plug wire right out of the box after reading numerous posts on the stock wire. I got a replacement from Pirate and tried to "unscrew" the factory wire. Well it did'nt just unscrew, in fact it had be twisted off and dug out. I screwed in the new wire and wanted a way to test the CDI to see if I was going to get a spark. I found a post with Ohm values and tested mine but my readings were considerably lower than what was posted. Don't know if I did something wrong or shouldjust hook it all up and try to run the darn thing.

Hey, jag. I got my bike running again today. I didn't go long enough to get it really warmed up but I can tell the power and smoothness is much better that before plus it fired right off, way faster than with the stock CDI.

I'm going for a 6 mile ride here soon, maybe. The weather is supposed to be much nicer tomorrow. If I can get out before it rains again today I'm off

Heck, yah! Got her up on the pipe, full throttle, muuuch less vibration. Got to top speed fast also. Just think I need to tune on the carb to take advantage of all that's working correctly now, mostly the hi speed bleed.

Thanks much for the ignition
