Update. CID worked for a day. Now the bike won't start at all. It cranks and cranks. Them I hear a sound like something is trying to catch them it stops cranking. Hit the starter again and the same thing happens.





When you say "same thing happens" are you talking about the engine "trying to catch" or it just "cranks and cranks" until it stops? If the boss is broken, it will always sound like it is "trying to catch" and will need to be fixed. The only way to confirm a problem is to pull the side cover.

Now if you ran the battery down while trying to start, there have been times where the sprag clutch slips and it feels like it is "trying to catch". Oil additives can play havoc with a sprag clutch. Make sure your battery is fully charged next time you start.

Another question, how did the bike run after replacing the CDI? Did it have normal power especially taking off? You never stated whether you switch coil wires or not.

Also, the Procom CDI units are known for poor cold engine starting. What setting did you pick on the CDI. Too bad you didn't go with the TTP Firestarter CDI.
