Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my CDI unit has failed?

Common signs of CDI failure include the engine not starting, misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or a complete loss of spark. You can test the unit with a multimeter and a service manual to confirm if its output is within the specified range.

What's the difference between this CDI unit and the original Yamaha part?

This is an aftermarket component designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, form, and function. It offers comparable performance and reliability at a more accessible price point.

Is any programming required for this CDI unit?

No, this is a direct plug-and-play component. It does not require any programming or special configuration. Simply install it and it will function with the factory ignition timing curves.

Can I use this on an engine outside the specified 1984–2000 year range?

We do not recommend using this part on models outside the specified compatibility list. Ignition systems are specific to engine series and year ranges, and using the wrong part can lead to poor performance or engine damage. Always verify your engine's model and year.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
