    Do you know the ID number of your CDI bud? I’m guessing that you can use any early one if you have a 3 coil stator? I don’t know what the postage is to Greece but I’ve got one you could use to swap out and check if it is the CDI…

      I don’t know off the top of my head. It’s the postage that’s a potential issue…

        OKay, it’s:

        3NC -00
        93N

        Believe it, or not! 🙂 …

        But I’m in the UK & have no monies till a week Wednesday (8 days) 😐 If postage can be sorted out I’ve no problems lending it to you for testing, or selling it if it cures your problems…

        Have you swapped out the magnetic pickup? The wire can break inside the insulation where it exits the crank case…

          @SpookDog Is it working ok?How much you will sell it (pm the price)?
          No I did not,used the whole stator that came (a 3MB-00) but bike does the same like mine the 3NC-00.Both stators are with in specs,checked with a multimeter according the service manual.

            I don’t know what a fair price is. I can’t remember what I paid for it. Any suggestions people?…

              While measuring by curiosity,I noticed something not right.
              Measuring point is battery connectors with a multi-meter.
              Charging voltage with battery is 14.8v at 3000rpm,voltage without battery attached is 6.5v at 3000rpm.
              I've managed to run it 2 time 2-3 mins each,the second time a dared to throttle it above 5000rpm it died no matter the kick start times no run.
              Malfunctioning rectifier/regulator?

                Some regulators will not work without a healthy battery

                  For the 4th time I checked all the ground points for continuity,capacitance and resistance, all switches, coils.
                  Everything is in spec.
                  Every connector and contact will have dielectric grease for waterproofing and keep away oxidization.

                    And it does EXACTLY the same,by hitting 5000rpm engine dies....wtf????
                    I have checked everything 4 times,everything is in specs.
                    I feel I am going down the @SpookDog road.......

                      When you’ve tried everything that is likely, all that’s left is the unlikely…

                      I think mr shadi had to disconnect the wires to the read switch while the revs were above 6-7000 for it to work…

                      I’d read his post through to be sure though…

                        But a 4DL CDI won't have the Reed Restriction in it? So that's irrelevant.

                        It would be like plugging in a Zeeltronic ignition system and not earthing the Green/Black wire on the DTRE and then the Zeeltronic retarding the powervalve?

                          @SpookDog The bike is an early one and has no restrictions to remove. For 1100km's was running ok and hitting 13000rpm on the road.

                            Which is why I don't suspect the CDI...or reed switch.

                              @Calum What can I check or test,any idea.
                              I have read topics here and on the old forum,the Yamaha club forum but no solution resolve my problem.
                              I'm on a dead end,followed the Yamaha service book,the Haynes, solutions from topics,whatever I could think,but now nothing.

                                Sorry, I think I’ve confused you with another different thread. My bad 🫤 …Edit: Yeah, definitely misstuuke your Fred for another one. Sorry again. It was Har ptooie‘a thread I was thinking about…

                                It doesn’t help that every time I try and read back through this thread I get thrown back to post number 6! Is there some kind of lag with pics loading up? (iPhone user)

                                Do you have a power valve servo fitted? Have you tried running the bike with it disconnected? (If you do?) 5-6K seems like power valve territory…
                                Just hunching at anything that seems relatable…

                                  Managed to read the thread again! Need more info!

                                  When it dies have you checked the plug? If so does the plug still spark? Is it wet?

                                  I’m guessing that you have a solenoid box under the seat? (I have two) They are to do with the side stand switch/ignition cut out. Have you checked that these aren’t ‘firing off’ on their own @ 5K?
                                  Have you got another key-ignition barrel you can swap out to try?
                                  Have you checked the kill switch?

                                  I know that it might be reaching but you’re at the point where you have to try any&every-thing…

                                    @SpookDog The plug still sprarks but from the sides to the tip,not as it should,its' wet. I dry it and sparks still from the sides to the tip,it does it with new also. The spark is white and strong. I have changed spark plugs,spark cap,new original ignition coil.

                                    Although a 4BL its a very early one (info from official Yamaha dealer in Greece with vin number) , it's cabling matches that of a 1989-90,original but refurbished by me to match the factory electrical.
                                    Key switch is original used replaced the old damaged 5 years ago, it's mesured and is ok.Kill switch is refurbished by me to original and measured ok. The ignition system is measured step by step according the Yamaha service book and found ok.

                                    There is no solenoid under the seat,it doesn't exist in that model. Side stand switch is removed the right way, cabling reports always that side stand is up. With the side stand refitted does the same,side stand works ok.

                                    I haven't try to disconnect the PV that you suggested before. It's 3 wire servo.

                                    I need my tools and a pile of junk.....

                                      @MadGyver

                                      Can you elaborate on the ‘sparks from side to tip’. Does it ever spark properly?…
                                      Have you tried immediately replacing the plug after failure with a fresh one and checking the spark?

                                      Is it wet straight after it fails, or because you’ve been kicking it over trying to start it?

                                      If it’s soaking wet straight after failure I’d look at your carbs main jet and needle tube…

                                      Anyone ever had a main jet fall out? 😆

                                        Can you elaborate on the ‘sparks from side to tip’. Does it ever spark properly?…
                                        Have you tried immediately replacing the plug after failure with a fresh one and checking the spark?

                                        Is it wet straight after it fails, or because you’ve been kicking it over trying to start it?

                                        If it’s soaking wet straight after failure I’d look at your carbs main jet and needle tube…

                                        Anyone ever had a main jet fall out? 😆

                                        Have you checked the carb recently? Does it die at 5K rpm regardless of throttle position? I mean you can get it to rev over 5K just by cracking the throttle?

                                        You’ve changed:
                                        CDI
                                        stator
                                        Coil
                                        Magnetic pickup
                                        Plug
                                        You’ve ruled out:
                                        key ignition
                                        Kill switch

                                        There isn’t a lot left! 🙂

                                        I’m wondering if the ‘feed’ wire to the coil (or to the CDI) has a break inside it? It can handle so much ‘pulse’ but breaks up its fidelity when it gets too much…

                                        I can’t think of anything else @ the moment…

                                          @SpookDog Had the signal wire break on my Cagiva and this was underneath cable shielding...so well worth investigating the resistance of the cable and checking.
