what are the interchange CDI years?

[WV98YFM350]

I am thinking of getting a 97 with no fire and wondering If I can interchange electrical from my 98?

yep sure can ... stator , cdi everything

97-01 have same electonics system.

Just bought for 600 with brand new rears and already bored pretty sure its CDI or Ignition coil...and I got a spare coil
knock on wood

97 yamaha warrior 350 bored out, has very very new rear tires, new rear pipe, new carrier bearings, very tight bike, was a complete screamer, has no fire right now, not sure why, unloaded and it had no fire, also needs start button but can still be started, i have never owned a Yamaha that didn't give me countless problems! I'm done with them! Trade for anything Honda 250 or , and maybe kawasaki or suzuki, NO YAMAHAS call or text

dude if it is a bad cdi you should send it pat for experimentation

 

[WV98YFM350]

Thoughts?

 

[WV98YFM350]

What do u experiment with on them pat?

What do u experiment with on them pat?

He's looking at making a way to make newer cdi's work on 1st Gens. I'm gonna almost bet its a stator issue. About 90% of no start/fire are it.

I've studied the wiring diagrams, and the 97-01 cdi SHOULD work for the 88.

 

[88WarriorBoy]

only actual real world experience will tell

 

[88WarriorBoy]

Yeah i was looking at a pic but what about that extra conector

 

[Gen1Pat]

I need to see the diagrams again. There are a couple of wires that can be either eliminated, or spliced together. 1st gens don't have a P/brake switch, so that wire doesn't need to be connected. Have to see how the pickup coils work out. 1st gen has 2, second gen has one...

 

[bones]

splice them in

 

[Gen1Pat]

That's the plan. Just NEED the damn plugs to do it.

 

[Mathius]

I don't get it? What would be the advantage to running the newer style CDI?? Just the cost, and availability. Or is there actually any performance advantage?

 

[Gen1Pat]

I just want to see if it will work. That way when your cdi craps out, you wont have to struggle to find one, or pay a huge price from Yamaha. 97-01 CDIs are easy and cheap to find.
