I have seen 2 so far, one was a member here who tested it in water. It was fine cold but when heated it failed , another reason his description put the pick up coil in my mind. So far every CDI failure I have seen the bike drops one side but still runs, at least at first.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
