Thank you sooooooo much for that - absoloutely perfect!! Somebody certainly has been messing with the wiring on my bike by the looks of things..... I'm wondering if the CDI failure & subsiquent bodge is covering an underlying issue?? Something like the reg/rec having failed & cooked the electrics?? I maybe buying a reg/rec off you as well Dave!! Thanks for the help & you have PM re the parts. Cheers, Stewart

Ain't it always the way....... Wonder if the manual you have is different to the one I have as it just shows the CDI box with a row of wires going into it. It has no detail of connector types at all...It is a later edition (the ones printed on toilet tissue if you know what I mean) Is the CDI you have a spare you'd consider selling?? Thanks for the reply by the way!! Stew

Hi everyone, Am new to the Yamaha Owners fold!! Just bought a 1991/2 XJ600 (3KM) (Pre Divvy) as a non runner (seemed like a good idea at the time!!) Somebody has hacked the wiring tothe CDI box & tried to fit a box off a different XJ (550 I think - it has a "4U8" code on it). The issue I have is that I don't have the orignal connectors on my harness. I can get the correct CDI box for my bike from a breakers fairly easily but I need to know which colour wire goes to which pin on the CDI box. So....if any helpful soul could take the RH sidepanel off thier bike & either take a photo of the CDI box or make a note / scribble a sketch of which wire goes where then that would really help me out. I have the haynes manual but it doesn't tell me which pin is which - just the wire colours & where they go. Thanks in advance, Stewart.
