Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my CDI unit has failed?

Common signs of CDI failure include difficulty starting, intermittent stalling, engine misfires at certain RPMs, weak or no spark, and a complete failure to start. A spark tester can help diagnose a lack of spark.

Is this compatible with models outside the listed years?

We can only guarantee fitment for the specified Yamaha models and years (2000–2006). Using this part on other models or years is not recommended, as internal timing curves may differ.

What's the difference between this and an original OEM part?

This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed original specifications for performance and reliability. It provides a cost-effective solution without compromising on ignition timing, voltage output, or durability.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No special tools are required. Installation is plug-and-play and can be done with basic hand tools (like a socket wrench or screwdriver) to access and replace the unit.

How is a CDI unit different from an ignition coil?

The CDI unit is the "brain" that determines when to fire the spark plug, receiving a signal from the stator. It then releases a high-voltage charge to the ignition coil, which steps up the voltage further to create the spark. They are separate but related components in the ignition system.

Will this fix my engine's running problems?

If the issue is caused by a faulty CDI unit, this part should resolve it. However, poor engine performance can also result from other issues, such as a bad stator, faulty ignition coil, clogged carburetor, or old spark plugs. Proper diagnosis is key.
