HELP! in central Peru!
 

Are on a tour in Central Peru. Presently in Huancayo and are suffering from a faulty CDI on a Honda XR650L. Is anyone near with a spare? :confused1:

Sorry- Can't help there but, a few thoughts- Are you sure it is the CDI unit?
Have you checked for a possible bad Ground on the coil? and have you checked the Ohms on coil and Pulse Generator? are they within specs?
Might as well check that the sidestand switch is clean ( or bypass it)
What about the the kill switch and the clutch switch?
Have you been through heavy rain/river crossing? you could have moisture on the cdi's pins or maybe corrosion.

Yes, we checked all the connections and shut-offs. The stand switch is bypassed and we cleaned up the grounds. The pickup coil resistance is lower than spec, but we don't have the equip to check the pulse. These are 2008 bikes I bought from another tour operator and they have REALLY been beat. I need to go thru EVERYTHING!

Sounds like you own (or have owned) an XRL !

THX for the other info!
