Motorcycle Repair: 83 Yamaha XVZ12TDK, capacitor discharge ignition, fuel gauge


Question
My cdi ( Computer diagonistic interface)has Quit working. No headlight, Fuel Gauge, and oil level. Have trouble shot system and fault is the CDI. Nobody ahs these parts in stock anymore. Bought one off EBAY used. Disaster to say least. No head light or tail light or brake light with this one. Is there anywhere to send it to be repaired?

Answer
Paul, I dont know of anybody who can repair them. But I also have never seen one that controlled lighting. All CDI units are for just spark control anyway. they dont control lighting or fuel levels or oil levels. CDI = Capacitor Discharge Ignition , i think you have an elctrical problem in your harness and the CDI is ok if it is running.
