I'm having a problem getting a CDI unit that works. The parts list calls for a  4XE-85540-00-00 CDI unit. The one currently on the ATV works but there seems to be a problem with the spark advance curve. It will idle fine an rev. to about 1.5K then  starts bogging down sputtering, popping and basically running poorly. If you can get it above 2200 RPM it runs better. I have ordered and returned about 5 replacement modules that will not work at all. The unit currently on the bike has no part numbers or identification other than a Mitisibuchi logo. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems with replacement CDI's and if so what is the fix? So far I have not found a replacement CDI that will supply an pulse to the Ignition coil.

The symptoms don't really sound like the advance curve. Have you had a timing light on it ?

 

The five you returned, are you saying they wouldn't even make a spark ? Because that sounds so unlikely that I'd have to suspect you have some other problem. Have you checked the wiring, and the trigger and stator outputs ?

I think I've seen a few instances in here and other places of yamahas having wiring problems up around the steering head..

Found out what the problem was with the lean popping and poor running between 1.5K and 2.2K and now it runs fine throughout the RPM range. However I still can not find a CDI other than the one currently on the bike that works.  What's the chances of getting 5 defective new CDI units in a row? I can't find where Yamaha may have changed or modified this unit during production and changed CDI's so I have to assume the 4XE-85540-00-00 is the correct part number. Since there are no identifying part numbers on the good unit that is currently on the bike, I can't verify if it is a 4XE-85540-00-00. Anyone else run into this kind of problem or am I just lucky?

They are known for having the intake rubber crack loose from the aluminum intake that bolts to the head. Your symptoms sound like that could very well be your problem. I have a hard time believing that you would have received that many bad CDI units.

Reread your post and see you have it fixed. What was it? Do you still need a CDI? Your post sounds like yours is working. The Beartrackers used 4XE-85540-00-00  from  01"-04" and I don't see any other number from Yamaha. Are you using OEM CDIs?

      Yesterday I got a UForce 1000 as my first bike and I am wondering if there are any owners that could advise where I can find budget parts and accessories for it.
      I tried looking StarknightMT, but the filtering is a bit unreliable, so direct links or exact names are much appreciated.
      I'm mostly interested in sliders and side cases, but any advices for "must haves" are welcomed.
      Thank you!

      Hisun 700 EFI. Replaced TMAP sensor had broken off . Fuel pump pressure 41psi. The only way I can keep it running (and runs fine) is to close off fuel return line.

      Faulty CDI Workaround / "Park-Circuit" Fix: 2009 Suzuki LT-A400 (KingQuad)
      By Zrach
      I wanted to share a successful workaround for a "no-spark" issue on a 2009 LT-A400.
      This is specifically for cases where the CDI has been diagnosed as faulty, but the age or condition of the machine makes the cost of a brand-new OEM unit hard to justify.
      Note: This modification compromises the factory “no-start” circuits.
      On some malfunctioning CDI units the internally damaged circuitry is only partial.
      Feeding full time power to the Parking Brake pin, the unit is triggered to bypass the internal fault and produce a healthy consistent output to the Ignition coil.
      The Modification
      See the second diagram attached below for the wiring specifics.
      The Result:
      The machine has clocked over 1,000km since this repair and is still running strong with no ignition dropouts.
      ⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING ⚠️
      Please be aware that this modification compromises the factory safety "no-start" circuits.
      The machine will now start in gear. The safety interlock involving the handbrake is no longer functional. The machine can move unexpectedly if the starter is pressed while in gear. Proceed at your own risk. If you sell the machine or let others ride it, ensure they are fully aware that these factory safety buffers have been removed.

      CFMOTO owners - How's parts availability in your area?
      By ATVcenter
      Hey everyone,
      I'm seriously considering a CFMOTO 600 Touring but keep hearing mixed feedback about parts and dealer support depending on where you live.
      Before I pull the trigger, I'd love to hear from actual owners:
      - How long do parts usually take if your dealer doesn't stock them?
      - Have you had any warranty work done? Was it smooth or a headache?  
      - Does your dealer provide decent service, or are you stuck doing everything yourself?
      The value proposition is hard to ignore - seems like you get 30% more features for the money compared to the Big 3. But I'm trying to figure out if the potential service headaches are worth the upfront savings.
      Would love to hear real-world experiences, especially from owners 2+ years in. What should a potential buyer know before committing?
