building a wiring loom

Hey I have a CDI XL125 motor and was wondering how to build a CDI wiring loom for it because I know on most CDI bikes you need a battery to finish the system off but I do not want to carry a battery as they weigh alot more how do I get passed this problem cheers

If you got any links would be appreciated

does it have a yellow wire and a white wire coming from the magneto? then you can set up a charging system....

also is there a wire coming from the motor probably black with a red stripe not sure for your motor that runs to the cdi?

better still tell me what color wires there are lol

a little birdie on a website tells me to run the black wire from the magneto direct to the coil...doesnt say anything about a cdi ...guessing they took it out ....but still throw up some pics and we will make sure...don't really want to fry something aye

ivan.... the XL125 motor is a points ignition. no need for a cdi. there will be a black with a white or yellow stripe, that goes into your coil and then the coil gets earthed. If you want to run a CDI you will have to get the magnetos and point of pickups of an engine with the CDI system.

you would be better off to run the points set up and advance/retard the time of ignition to the area that the engine makes power.

Ivan --Not sure where you're going with this --you building a bucket motor??
If you are Id suggest using a bigger battery-the weight diffence wont matter a darn -then dump the charging system--the bike will rev heaps better
