Motorcycle Repair: Honda CDI, honda magnas, cmsnl
QuestionI realize this is not concerning a CBX1000 or CB1100R but you appear to be the closest fit for possibly getting an answer. If I have determined that the CDI is bad, is there an outfit within the USA that will repair CDI's? In particular, I restore 1987 and 1988 Honda Magnas and have a box full of CDI's that are known bad. I'd just like to send them all in for repair. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

AnswerHi Chris,
I think a lot of that era Honda's have the OKI type CDI igniters. I know an outfit in Holland who supply equivalent units for the CBX1000 1979 and 1981 models, which have different connectors. I do not think they can be repaired, so replacement is the only option... From Honda the igniters were $200 each, these units cost about $150. Let me know if these are OKI 200 units, the website that sells the replacements is www.cmsnl.com
Good luck, Jan
P.S. If enough interest, I will be in Holland next week and can bring some back...?
