Been traveling for a few days
Just got a new DC CDI in the mail...installed it and it immediately smoked!
Do I have another problem or did they send me the wrong type?

Are you sure it uses a DC CDI?? I think so....
The one on the bike (while it was running) was much larger than an AC. I checked for voltage on the 2 wire plug and the bottom wire had 12 volts when the switch was on.

Yeah,that should be a DC unit,do you have access to a service manual with a wiring diagram?I think it might be good to look over the iggy system,,Could have been a crap CDI box,but maybe not...

I am still looking for a service manual.
The wiring going to the box confuses me...as I said it is the larger box but, it has 3 wires in the 4 plug and 2 wires in the small 2 wire plug.
I've hedged my bets...I've just ordered one of each. No my favorite practice.

Thanks, that is a great link! The body looks like a TNG 250 |

Finally, starting assembly...going slow, trying to put it together correctly...something the former owner didn't seem to care about.  It's not done...some of the rear panels are just set in place. Not a great paint job,(looks good from about 10 feet) but beats scrapes and epoxy! |

Well, all the panels on the back half had to come off this morning - I forgot about the seat latch cable...took 3 times on and off to get it right.
A pause during one moment of frustration got me to change the gear oil...this meant removing the CVT cover.
Now I expected there to be a little difference in the components. Side by side it is striking. Just a couple pics of the clutch bell in compared to a 139qmb clutch bell.
Looking at an oil change this afternoon....still thinking about swapping coolant.

Finished putting the panels on today...spent time unplugging each connector I could find and packing it with dielectric grease. Finished changing fluids (except antifreeze...still thinking about waterless).
Sorry, struggling uploading pics..I will add some when I can.

A new CDI (both an AC and DC) arrived today...Everything indicated that it should be the DC...plugged it in and the 250 fired up!
I was so excited that is was running....threw on my gear and went for a ride. About 15 minutes in I realized I didn't have one tool with my (aside from my pocket knife)...Finished the ride without incident - the idle was set a bit high making it tough at stop lights and I think it is running a bit warm....cooling system flush on the menu.

Looks nice and clean with fresh paint. I'm a sucker for the white/ black paint. How's it drive compared to the smaller 50 and 150 scoots?

It definitely has a more upright sitting position...turning radius is larger and you can't lay it over very far without dragging something underneath...vastly different than my maddog "chopper style". The power is a bit intoxicating...I am so use to running WOT...this pulls like a train to 60! Then the vibration (front wheel out of balance) force me to let off.
I now have a set of Black and White bar end mirrors on the way! |
