it looks like the CDI in my XT600E(3TB) has packed up, does anyone know if the CDI from any other XT model will fit? the xte one is expensive!

They're all expensive. But I'm surprized it is giving problems. They are usually pretty indestructable.

I have a CDI unit from an 89 tenere in my garage. If you'r interested in buying it please let me know

Hi
any 600e ignition unit will work - or 660,tt600e,szr660, but only the 90-95 3tb unit will make your over rev lamp work (not important really, most 3tb owners dont even know they have one)
The ignition unit is not a cdi type so the ones you have been offered wont work.
Only pre 3tb bikes use true cdi ignition.
Let me know if you still have trouble finding one.

thanks david, i`ll look around for one.i have a local MZ dealer, those bikes use xtz660 motors, so if i cant find a cheaper cdi anywhere will a new one from an MZ work? and yes, i had no idea i had an over rev light, so i wont really miss it!
