Title: CDI Sec Voltage
Post by James H on May 4th, 2017 at 3:18pm
This is a capture of a CDI equipped single at 10,000 rpm (no load). The light blue is with an open circuit spark plug cap. The dark blue is with a good 5,000 ohm cap. I'm surprised to see so little difference. Is this what you would expect?

James, again looking at this one the only interesting thing I find is the short burn times.


Comparing this with the 450 Suzuki seems to be how they operate, again most my history is with cars and 1-2 ms is normal burn time. With CDI, this may be a whole different game as this KTM seems to mirror the 450 RM.

The only thing I can say is over time develop an idea as you might be a pioneer here as not a lot of bike techs use this scope. 

Sending again a Jpeg to view.

Also in future send me an Email when wanting opinions as I don't always get on the site, but will take time to look if you remind me, and a lot of folk don't look @ the bikes.

Also, arrow in JPEG was supposed to say waste fire, could not fix the picture, sorry.

Anyway am interested, keep it coming.
