Has anyone used this test method off the resource site? My question is about step 7 on the CDI test at the bottom. Step 5 has the battery negative to the red and then step 7 says to touch the white wire to the light green. Do I leave the battery negative to the red wire ?  |

The black wire stays on negative - the white and light green wire both touch the second connector of the lamp (in my case it was the probe). I did this test on the 2 units I mailed you. Then I also wired them to my H2 and made absolutely sure they were OK. You'll get these in the morning (apparently). The red wire is not in play at this point...but remember, I did this on Monday so.. don't trust my memory! |

Hello guys. thanks for posting this thread. I am doing this test. I had the same question as Dave.
Here are my results. everything good except:
- step 20 on the rectifier test: I got a dim light on the white wire which I believe indicates a short?
- step 8 on the cdi unit test: my light does not stay on when I remove the white white wire connection. I get this result on all CDI boxes.
any comments? thanks in advance.
edit: wanted to add that the bike developed a bad miss fire on the left cylinder shortly after I started my ride yesterday.
it stalled and miss fires at idle now.

Both of those tests worked as they are supposed to for me. On the good set of boxes, that is...

The CDI boxes all tested as they are supposed to. However the regulator / rectifier box test revealed two shorted isolation diodes  |
