    YAY, new cdi turned up for the 750

    IMG_20190218_124340[1].jpg

    Straight back out to the garage to fit it................doesn't work.
    The old cdi starts and runs the bike, just seems to have an advance problem, can't get over 5k rpm, hence I bought the replacement.
    Fitted this one, bike won't even start.
    Pissed off.

    Listen to that puppy roar. I mean detonate... serious detonation going on.
    It clears up over 2k rpm so its the mixture I guess.
