Anatomy of a CX500 Cdi unit
K2-K6:
That is quite a sniffy reply from murrayf. Also appears that he's commenting from habit rather than any real experience.
He quotes age, then states mileage at 50k when yours has completed 300 miles. Really doesn't seem like a very reasoned view.
Well worth going through it I think and we get the benefit of your skills in this area to inform us too.
All good to me.
mike the bike:
The potting, as previously discussed, wasn't always 100% which affects the solder joints due to atmospheric exposure and, over time, capacitors go leaky so it was always going be pot luck if a CDI lasts 50k or 500k. Upgrading with modern capacitors, metal film resistors etc, and re potting the pcb properly will make the CDI outlast the bike.

Not sure Jason..possibly silicone dielectric gel. I still need to come up with a test rig setup and enclosure. Engine looking really good though so definitely worth all of the effort.
