DRBig 750 damaged - up for tender

[nooles]

Na, The one at Turners Tauranga got too pricy for me , I brought this from Arrowrider - was supposed to be running / Has'nt yet .Think he might want to change that handle to Bentarrowrider, as he does'nt appear to have been as upfront about bikes condition as he could have been.

Yes Turners did get a little pricey, I was going to rebuild it and give it to someone for that price.Is this the CDI you are looking for(hope photo works)

[Connor]

Will get back to you later today , will have a look after work.

I thought I was a Knight in shining amour but I went and plugged it into my bike and it has suffered the same fateso now I feel as bad as he does

Hey Connor, You can "borrow"mine if you want, just to see if that is the problem. My bike probly won't be running for the next couple of months, so I don't need it till then

[Connor]

Thanks for the offer Jatz , but will try and source a new or second hand CDI as am fairly sure that this is the problem , am not expecting to find more and would be totally dirty if I do . Phil

[junkmanjoe]

is it possable to take the old one to a auto electrial place and have it repaired.

Its a sealed unit so probably not, what could go wrong with them? they look bomb proof

[Eddieb]

They are normally a sealed unit filled with some sort of resin so you need to cut/scrape the resin off all the electronics in there to get at them. Getting the resin out normally results in more harm than good.

Has anyone compared them to a smaller cc DR unit or Fische just in case Suzuki reused a part?

Hey Connor, try sending it to Anything Electronic In Nelson. They fix ignitors and ECU`s for cars and several years ago they repaired the CDI unit from my old boat motor.
If they cant fix it they wont charge you and if they can it is normally only 180 -200 dollars

[junkmanjoe]

what about a one out of a old road bike.
catch up with buckets n bits in lower hutt. older suzks may be similer in desgine... same plugs e.t.c.. worth a crack.

[JATZ]

Well......... do you want the good news or the bad news........

Good news....... I found a couple of cdi's after a quick search

Bad news..........New from cmsnl 313 euro
S/hand from ebay in gemany 199 euro

Good news....... the cost aint so bad if you say it quickly and don't think about the conversion

I didn't even look at trademe and the one in Germany list it as being for a DR600/650/750/800
