47x-50 CDI XRAY

#1 Post by greenmurraym » Sun Oct 26, 2014 8:21 pm

Here, just for interest, is a couple of x-rays of my CDI ( which I believe not to be working). I am a radiographer, so this was just for interest. I may put it through the CT later this morning and try and generate some 3D images. What I was looking for was fractured wires, or melted components.

So it turns out this CDI, and another from a dismantlers were faulty. I went to a classic bike meeting, found a guy who had a RZ ( well he actually has four, and four RG 500's !). He took them and put them on a working RZ, and they did not spark ( one did intermittently, which explains why it started then stopped)

So I have a aftermarket CDI from Belgium that works, except the Tunebox software wont connect, so I guess it is as it is. Any one had issues with http://www.hpi.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ?
