Sportbikes / Re: CDI box testing?
« on: June 13, 2011, 02:32:42 AM »
Hi Guys
I just bought a used 2008 ZS250GS with 5900 miles on the clock.
The bike is in very good condition and it's been driving like a dream, until yesterday...
I was driving when all of a sudden my instruments (Speedo, odometer etc) went dead and the bike cut out.
It took me about 30 minutes before the bike started again.
I first thought it might be a battery problem but the engine turns when trying to start.
I then tested the spark plug. Seems like there is no spark.
I have read a view threads which indicate that the problem could either be with the CDI unit or the coils.
Could anybody confirm this? Any advice on how I can definately establish what the problem is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also looking for a Owner's Manual for the ZS250GS in PDF if anyone can help?
