Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this CDI unit fits my engine?
First, check the Engine & Model Compatibility table on this page. Your engine's model, horsepower, and year should be listed. Second, visually compare your old part to our product images to ensure the plugs and housing match. If there are any differences, do not purchase.
What are the signs of a failing CDI unit?
Common symptoms of a faulty CDI module include no spark to the spark plugs, engine misfiring at various RPMs, intermittent stalling, difficulty starting, or a complete loss of power. These issues occur because the CDI is responsible for controlling the precise timing of the ignition spark.
What is the difference between part numbers like 61N-85540-10 and 61N-85540-13?
These numbers represent a supersession chain from Yamaha. The number ending in -10, -11, etc., were earlier versions, while 61N-85540-13 is the latest and final revision from the manufacturer. This aftermarket part is designed to be a direct replacement for all of them, offering the same fit and function.
Can I install this part myself?
While installation can be straightforward for those with mechanical experience, we recommend professional installation. This ensures all connections are secure, and the ignition system is correctly diagnosed and functioning safely. Improper installation can lead to engine damage or electrical issues.
