[Discussions] Common Electrical Issues On Cubs

[boardrider02]

I am riding Wave 125S for 4 years. Currently I got some issues with my bike.I believe it was the CDI(Capacitor Discharge Ignition).After a week of changing to original CDI,my bike liao ku.So I do not know whats the problem.I think it is the Coil(alternator),but I do not know,if that is the case.I do not want to keep changing and changing parts till my pocket's hole getting larger.Any idea what to do?I just change the CDI from the racing one to original costing $90.

erm..y didnt u stick to the racing CDI??

[boardrider02]

the racing one gave problem.The CDI was bloated and my bike couldnt start.I was iniatially advised to change but that time i have no cash.The racing one can burned your coil as advised but a mechanics.

The coil can also cause electrical problem.Also the magneto coil,a different one from the earlier can also cause electrical issue.

I believe, thats becoz u drag ur gears often that resulted ur coil to burnt.

Will the original CDI gives more problem than those racing type? What are the pros and cons when changing to those racing CDIs?

Pros:

 

You can run very fast as the power being cut is taken out.

 

When speed comes in, petrol intake is high as our bike is not EFI, petrol will

splatter into the carb and produce more power to increase your speed.

 

Cons:

 

You might burn the coil due to over reving that cause your internal CDI

 

to breakdown and thus, have to change a new one.

 

(i'm not very sure but just heard from, never really try)

 

Just speaking from what i know, dun flame me aH!~

change racing cdi i heard the radiator wont work.. and needs a switch to switch it on manually..

Actually, it doesn't harm much as we travel mainly in singapore.

 

How big is singapore, it wouldn't over heat so its okay not to fix the fan.

btw... carb controls the fuel going into the combustion chamber...

 

EFI engines will also supply more fuel as the engine rev higher...

 

lastly, its called a rev limiter in cubs.. not powercut like in super4. but its the same lah.. disallow you to rev too high too much.

See the expert is much more pro.
