Cdi needed in Santiago
 

Hello all,
Any ideas on obtaining a CDI unit for a Honda Transalp 600 1987? Can they be repaired?Any ideas on other bikes cdis which would work?
Thanks in advance
Marcel

Hey Marcel
Contact Javier at www.dakarmotos.com. He is in Buenos Aires and a good contact. Also check out www.atic.org regarding africa twins (similar to the TA). I think it describes how to open the cdi and resolder the loose connections due to vibration or compression under the seat.

Hope this helps
CHRIS

Hi, I’m here
The CDI are possible to fix if you find a properly one to do it, the most of the fault on that’s are about the lusted contacts between the main card and the plug but also can be others components. Better if you find a electronic motorbike guy to fix it. Also see here: http://www.atic.org/faq/cdi.html
In argentine is possible to find a CDI made in here by a company call DZE than works very well maybe better than the original because are reinforced and also cheaper(around $200.- argentine pesos). I don’t know if some one sell that’s ones in Chile.
Sorry but from BA to Santiago I cant do anything more.
Regards

The solution that Vincent offer you is the best solution. Honda Chile (www.honda.cl) sure can sell you the CDI but: 1) Sure they don´t have it here, need to import. 2) For the price that Honda Chile will ask you probably in Europe you can get the CDI and new tires.

I know that some electronics technicians can repair it, but I don't know who.
