CDI Ignitions and coils

[caneswell]

Hello all!

I'm in the process of making a very dangerous weapon......I'm fitting a cbr 600 engine to a small off road buggy type thing.

I'm not a fan of wiring! I think i now have the correct CDI unit it's from a 97 bike and I think the engine is 95 so that should work??

Can you use regular 12v coils from any bike with CDI ignition systems, or do you need to use specific CDI spec coils?

Thanks muchly, i'll post some videos of me crashing it as soon as its running!

[hmmmnz]

a coil is a coil my friend, it just has a signal wire and common return to the cdi(2 wires from each coil)
the cdi should work, im not sure there was any difference to the ignition system. but you can all but try aye
hope that helps ya a bit, i hope you realise you aree obliged to post photos now i did a similar thing back in nz a few years ago with a gsx 750 engine very fun

Somebody is going to be having some very mental fun sometime in the future

As far as electrics go, simplicity would suggest you get hold a wiring loom for a CBR600 from a breakers. Then you can just use the bike wiring diagram as a start point.

looks like its gunna be a wepon wicked keep us posted

Yep that's what I'm thinking. Unfortunately I believe I have an F2 engine (as there is no speedo pickup of the crankcase) and a '97 CDI. So which loom would be easiest to use?

Thanks

[hmmmnz]

basically most wiring is the same, im not sure if you have an internal recifier or an external one on your bike(is there 3 wires from the alternator or just 2? if you have 2 then your rectifier is internal)
wiring a carburator engine is easy, i could make you up a wiring diagram if you want, unless you want indicators and guage lights, but again thats all easy,
the only difficult bit in using another bikes loom is the connectors and srorting the side stand switch and what not.
let me know if you wand me to draw something up for you

ok what do you want in the way of warning lights? oil and neutral? is that enough, do you want the lighting circuits, brake lights ect
or just bare bones (less to wire )

Nope no lights required. Maybe oil and neutral would be a good idea but i could probably survive without it. Just want it to run asap!!

[hmmmnz]

ok sweet next question are you using the original clocks/ rev counter temp guage ect??

ok here is a wiring diagram almost as basic as i could get it, i could simplify the ignition/fan switch a bit more and if i can find out about the throttle sensor i could probly do some thing there as well but id say its probly essential to the timing advance ect

So does anyone have a cbr 600 f2/f3, could you look at your CDI and tell me what colour wires go to what pin?? Would be much appreciated

Cheers
