July 1, 200917 yr I tryed everything, but my bike will not start. I cleaned carburator 7 times, changed the plug, cleaned the exhaust.. I see a little spark on plug, but I think it is not big enough. If I'm lucky it starts for a second and than dies:(( I find the coil, I know where the stator is, but I don't know where is cdi unit. Can somebody please post picture of CDI? Electriciti for Betas are made in our country (Slovenia..maybe that is the reason for its durability) so I'll get the broken part probably cheap.. Samo
July 1, 200917 yr Hi, Samo. First, and before dealing with CDI, you must check the kill button. It can be doing contact with earth (handlebar metal). The CDI is located under the frame right cover. Saludos
July 2, 200917 yr Author I diconect all wires by the kill botton, try to start, but no luck.. Probably I should leave some wires conected there? I took out the coil, there I found earth contact wire cleaned it and put it back, still no luck. I checked once more this earth wire. Thanks Mecajental for respond Samo
July 2, 200917 yr Cdi is the small black bax about size of fag packet in the stearing head.held in by a rubber band.Your problem sounds like stator but could be either.Best advice is to phone Lampkins .they will advise you and supply items you need .They will take back and refund for any items not used. I have had this problem recently.Cheap it will not be Sorry.
July 2, 200917 yr Author From stator comes electricity and the coil I checked ( take one from friends Beta..) was OK, so it should be CDI unit. I take it out already and ordered one directly from the factory;)) It is not so expensive..(I can not tell you the price ) They were very friendly and explained me everything about digital ignition system we have on Betas. They said that from 2008 is much improved in this sistem.
July 2, 200917 yr It is not so expensive..(I can not tell you the price ) Why not? I think it wouldn't be a secret. Here, in Spain, CDI unit for Rev07 costs about 120-140 euros. It is not very expensive in comparison with others bikes. For example, I have paid more than 200 euros for the CDI for a Suzuki DR600 three years ago. Saludos Edited July 2, 200917 yr by mecajental
July 3, 200917 yr Author They usually don't sell products from factoy, but here is no oficialy Beta dealer so I menage to get it lets say for qarter of the Spain price..
July 3, 200917 yr Ah!!..mecajental...at last I see someone from a Coruna. I used to work there a little bit. What a wonderfull place to live. You are a lucky guy. I hope I will come there again one day. Happy trials!
July 4, 200917 yr Yes, StuEssenhigh, in general, Galicia is a wonderful country to live. I hope you can visit us again. Saludos
