Hi all,
Was out having a look at the bike earlier today to try and get it working. Took me about 5 mins to sort out the burnt out connector. When that was fixed turned on the ignition pressed the starter and she turned over sweet as a nut!
Turned off the ignition repacked all the wiring as neatly as i could, turned the ignition back on to check all was still well when the CDi started smoking! turned off the ignition double time but it was already too late. I took the CDI apart in the hope it was just a blown cap but alas there was a 1cm2 hole in the PCB :[
Now the question is where can i get a new CDI?! As best i can figure out i've got a gk76a sp model. Adjustable damping on the forks and single block connector CDI unit etc. etc. Is there anywhere that produces replacement CDI units or is it just a case of keeping a close eye on ebay and the like?
Thanks
Geo

Re: Burnt out CDI!
After a bit of searching I found a Chinese company that produces the CDIs on request. Now ever being a pessimist I don't have all that much faith in Chinese production standards. Normally they're fine but if I'm going to drop 130+ quid on a new cdi I want to be sure it works!
Thankfully the Chinese are the most helpful and accommodating people on earth so I sent them an email asking if they can provide the PCB and the case separately, about two minutes after I got a reply saying that wouldn't be a problem. So I can check the pcb when it arrives make sure it is all ok and change some of the components to high grade parts. After that I can seal it in such a way that parts can easily be changed if needed!
Happy days
