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?

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.

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.

Did you ever figure out if it would work??I have an 88 with no spark and I’m pretty sure it’s the CDI

Availability and you can also get a drw performance zeeltronic programmable cdi which you can put in different maps and set different power curves etc
