Pooched CDI??

[timtune]

KLR has no spark. Checked with a meter when cranking the starter the power into the coil was around 0.50V. I was expecting much closer to 12V. Popped all the connections between the CDI and the coil cleaned them all and it made no difference.

Thoughts??

The way I've ridden this thing hard and put it away wet has me thinking maybe this is the correct fix....

If it’s on the +side of the coil, it’s a supply issue not the cdi. Check outputs at key and kill switch. Then side stand too. If your clutch or neutral switch interrupts power, check them too.

Then look at grounds.

If it’s low on the - side, check the cdi ground. Then ohm out the pickup coil wires, should be 100-300ohms.

I’ve seen the odd cdi failure, but not many.
