    1. Hi
      Does this CDI support 1990 Honda cr250

      Mine has been stolen and I couldn’t find any alternatives that fit
      And the only available cdi boxs for this model are in Ebay and they are extremely expensive even though they are in a nasty condition

      If this model fits my dirt bike I will buy it

      1. Hi,
        I don’t have any direct feedbacks on Honda CR250. Nevertheless looking at some info I gathered on www, It should be OK:
        Honda CR250 – 1900 is a KZ3 model
        – Only one external pickup.
        – Only one metal tab on the flywheel that seems to triggers at 10° btdc
        – A charging coil into the stator.
        – A CDI Box for CR250R (1989-1996) OEM 30410-KZ3-004
        Parts list: https://www.bike-parts.fr/honda-moto/250-MOTO/CR/1990/CR250RL/Moteur/ALTERNATEUR–CARTER-MOTEUR-GAUCHE–BOITIER-CDI/13KZ3L41/E__0600/1/4291
        I didn’t find a wiring diagram of the bike. Do you have one?

        You will also have to check if the pickup is still Negative then Positive (like Honda’s)
        A simple oscilloscope trace will tell. An Android phone + 2 resistors can make a scope.

        As a 2 stroke engine, you’ll have to set SW14-1 and SW14-2 (https://transmic.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2stk_timing.jpg)

          Добрый день!
          Подойдет ли Ваша схема к мотору Hirth f33 ? Там CDI использует 3 провода,
          1) вход с высоковольтной катушки генератора
          2) масса
          3 ) выход на катушку зажигания

      2. Me too but how do you find out if it will work on a 2 cylinder cm400a hondamatic 4 stroke motorcycle that’s the one I need ..

    2. Hi
      Thank you for your reply

      Yes it still NP pickup coil

      I have pictures of the oscilloscope and I have the wiring diagram
      How can I send them to you

      Thank you so much

    3. The 1979 nippondenso 070000-0550 cdi has 11 wires on it all color coded it’s a small cdi board but they sealed it into epoxy about 4 decades ago and it’s real hard to get apart I was able to get mine apart without breaking the circuit board but the component side is still encased in epoxy and it is just almost impossible to get it off I tried everything . But you seem to make a way better CDI so I would rather get a brand new aftermarket CDI from your company like the other people in the group All I want for Christmass is for somebody to build this CDI

    4. Wow that CDI you build is a beautiful looking thing i have been searching everywhere for people like you that actually can build such a Beauty of a thing ..I just thought I would mention that to you . I bet you it wouldn’t be that hard for somebody like you guys to just make a couple additional changes to this CDI you built and it could probably be made to work just fine .. I am just saying . Anyways merry Christmass and all that jazz keep on biking and keep up the good work …

    5. Hi,

      Have a 98 Skidoo Mach 1 with rotax 3 cylinder 2 stroke. This has an immobilizer and is a one year only cdi. No longer available. Its a pretty high output 134hp 10k rpm 2 stroke.

      The 120 degree seperation 3 cylinder fires wasted spark on all three cylinders everytime one of the 3 triggers are passed by the pickup coil.

      Your instructions say your boxes will not work with one pickup and multiple coils but I think 3 of your cdi’s would work fine in this engine, yes?

      If so since I have to buy 3, which woukd you recommend or perhaps its best to modify yours on a new circuit?

    6. Bonjour,

      Bravo pour votre site et votre travail sur les CDI qui permet de sauver certaines machines !

      Dans le cas d’une moto avec un seul capteur comme mon Yam DTMX125, y a-t-il un avantage à utiliser la version 2.7 par rapport aux versions plus anciennes ?
      Et est-ce que le potentiomètre a une utilité dans ce cas puisqu’il n’y a pas de saut à régler entre deux capteurs ?

      cordialement

    7. Bonjour,
      La question ne se pose plus vu qu’il n’y a plus d’anciens modeles.
      >puisqu’il n’y a pas de saut à régler entre deux capteurs ?
      Non. le potentiomètre gére le saut entre les 2 impulsions du même capteur lorsque “l’aimant” du stator arrive puis quitte le pickup.

    8. Hi Thierri,
      I have my ACCDI v2.7+ and have been working-out how to wire it for my SRX600. I think I understand now but there looks like an error on your XT600 wiring diagram – the charging coil wires (Red and Brown) are shown going to the ACCDI ALT and GND connections when you text suggests it is ALT and ALTg (?) – that had me confused!
      Anyway, I hope I understand correctly and look forward to getting it working. Thanks for all your good work.

      1. Hi Tim,
        Reload the wiring diagram, I’ve changed it. On recent ACCDI2.7 it’s now ALT and ALTg.
        (ALTg can be connected either to gnd or to full rectification with SW13-6)
        Cheers

    9. Hi Thierry, I bought an AC CDI V2.7+. I would like to know what type of pick up I should use for this CDI and if possible a reference to be able to buy it. I am going to put this CDI in a single-cylinder SANGLAS 400, at start it must have 0º so that it does not recoil, since a pedal starts, once it starts the advance is at 7º and at maximum revolutions it reaches 35º of advance. I congratulate you for your page and the information of these ignitions. Thanks and regards

      1. Hi and thank you Francisco,
        ACCDI v27 uses an ANALOG pickup (aka “pickup coil” or VR that stands for “Variable Reluctor”)
        i.e This one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000013985407.html
        >it must have 0º so that it does not recoil, since a pedal starts, once it starts the advance is at 7º and at maximum revolutions it reaches 35º of advance
        No. You should understand that ADVANCE IS NOT ADJUSTABLE with ACCDI v27!
        Advance values come from the lenght of the magnet on the flywheel, and for less part form the CDI settings and a little bit from the pickup.

        If you want to tune and fine adjust the advance you need a programmable CDI (like ACCDI v11)

    10. I have an XT550 that has a bad pickup coil. Can this CDI to be used to run the bike off of the other pickup coil that’s still good? (For example, running based off of the 12 degree coil at all times)

      1. Yes but..
        With ACCDIv2.7: Engine will knock at idle if running based of the 36° or no power at high revs when based of the 12° coil.
        With ACCDIv11: Engine run OK based of the 36° or no power at high revs when based of the 12° coil.

    11. Hello,
      I’m planning on upgrading ignition system on my 1982 Suzuki GN400. Which kind of ignition coil would you recommend, along with ACCDI v2.7+? Also, I think there’s a mistake in settings pdf, as sw13-3 is mentioned both on and off.
      Thanks

    12. Can Confirm fit for 1986 Atc125m.. still dialing in the advance . The production #s were super low on this machine and I was out of options.. couldn’t locate a replacement.. this lil box is awesome. I can share pictures of the wiring and the DP switch settings if anyone needs. Thanks again

    13. ac-cdi-v2.7? It was 2.6 when I started this email?
      I am working on a 1980 85 Suzuki DR400 4stroke single trail bike that the Net tells should have a 6volt system.
      DC provides power for lights (not needed for trail work) one wire.
      Ac provides power for spark. Three wires
      It has two spaced (ac I believe) pickup units mounted at either end of a bracket triggered by the one magnet protruding through the flywheel.
      Although the flywheel has magnets imbedded around its inner surface to excite an dc coil and its opposing ac coil.
      Your ac-cdi is just what I am looking for. The little DIY involvement suits me.

      How much to get it to New Zealand?

    14. ACCDI v27 doesn’t need DC power so 6 or 12v doesn’t matter.
      AFAIK DR400 and GN400 share the same engine.
      The stator of GN400 looks like this.
      Connection to CDI is described above.
      For shipping to NZ just order it, you’ll see the price before to pay.

      1. No problem. Australia and NZ are the longest, around 4weeks. Price depends on what option you choose…Around 7€.
        You can add the item to your basket, shipping price will be displayed before you have to pay, then cancel the buy.

    15. Hello,
      Can you tell me if your ac-cdi 2.7 is compatible with a Honda TLM 250 trial bike.
      It’s a 2-stroke engine without battery:
      1 pulse generator
      primary coil resistance: 0.3 Ohms
      secondary coil resistance: 6.3 Ohms
      Ignition timing: 19° BTDC/2000 rpm
      thank you

      1. Hello Eric,
        L’inconnu est le timing du pickup: Pour obtenir 19° BTDC/2000 rpm, il faut que le pickup soit fixé a 19° MINIMUM.
        S’il est a 19-20°, l’accdiv27 marchera bien. Ne reste qu’a connaitre la polarité du pickup. (voir ci-dessus)
        Certains constructeurs comme Yam décalent le pickup vers 70° et le CDI attend le temps nécessaire avant d’envoyer étincelle. Dans ce cas il faut un ACCDI programmable comme mon v12
        Mais ce n’est généralement pas le cas chez Honda.
        Pour en etre certain, faut mesurer selon l’annexe 1 du doc: https://transmic.fr/wp-content/ACCDIv12/Setup_IgnitionBox_ACv12r4c1.pdf

        1. Bonjour Thierry,

          Je trouve un angle de 45° pour le positionnement du pickup sur la Honda TLM.
          Je vais donc te commander un CDI.
          Cordialement

          Eric

          1. Bonjour Thierry,
            En attendant la livraison de mon CDI, j’ai poursuivi les recherches.
            Pour information mon Pickup est de type PN

            Cordialement

            Eric

    16. Hi,
      I recently purchased a 1987 Husqvarna TE510 with no spark. I checked the Stator and found it to be out of range. so a purchased a new after market stator. Still no spark. I then checked the coil/cdi and found it was also out of range. No resistance reading on black to red as outlined in your documentation. I tried to install and generic CDI and this created a pretty bad kick back on ever kick. I believe this issue lies in the generic aftermarket cdi. Would your cdi work on this bike? Thank you.

    17. Hi Thierry-

      I recently acquired a 1991 Yamaha XT600e with no CDI box. I purchased your analog AC-CDI v2.7+ and am attempting to correctly wire to the original wiring harness. I cannot determine the correct wiring orientation for the pickup coil.
      My harness shows a Green/ White and red spotted wire, and a Blue/ Yellow and red spotted wire I believe comes from the pickup coil, and I understand it has a PN (positive first) pulse. Which color wire will connect to HI, GND or LO on your CDI?

      Thank you in advance,
      Brian
