Reply To: CDI teardown and repair
That is a unique question and one I am actually keen to learn more as you want to risk opening it up. Normally, I just replace the CDI’s on customer bikes, the lower class 125 & 250ccs don’t even look encourage to try to open them up! as if there was some kind of black goo plastered all over with only connectors showing and that’s it.
If your CDI has plastic casing on both sides (I have to assume so, as i know some 650’s do, but i never actually had my hands on a GV version) , there should be a line going all the way around acting as a seem / seam <?> . Then slowly try to pry it open?
Another overlooked issues we get on bikes is heat fatigue on what it does to electronics , like a computer PC, if an SSD runs too hot without cooling it, it’s circuitry you will see scorch marks on the PCB. Heat is usually a bike’s enemy either to the engine pistons or electronics!
