how to test and repair motorcycle CDI electronic ignition module coil system spark failure 

We need a full tutorial for connecting that Bosch Ignition system, and where to find it, great video man, greetings from Mexico

This videos feels like it comes from another dimension seriously: @02:10 "Make sure you don't heat it up too much. You don't wanna damage the fragile electronics" Proceeds to blazing it to hell. @02:25 "Now that the epoxy is off the circuit-board, I can carefully pry the board from the case" Proceeds to obliterate the circuit-board with a flat screwdriver Lmao

You gotta like it when there is no heming and hawing, boring waste-of-time blah blah - just economical narration that expressly applies to problem and solution. GOOD!

I have just subscribed and I realise that your wealth of knowledge and expertise is just what I have been missing in my at home repair work. thanks for taking the time to share your acumen and insight with all of us. Cheers and five Ichiban Motors stickers to you.

don't heat it too much because of delicate electronics, the next shot you see is that it's on fire HAHAHA

Brilliant! Brightened up my afternoon no end. Thanks!

How to fix your ignition system. Step 1. Light the old one on fire. Step 2. Buy a new one.

Amazing the guy can fix anything with a broken screwdriver and a small pair of vise grips! :)

That little Bluetooth test light is awesome..

@Ichiban Moto This reminds of when my buddy got stuck out in the desert with no sparks. Luckily I had one of those dollar store electronic cigarette lighters. We replaced the thumb button with one of my buddy's stainless crowns from his back tooth. Then using Nickletown assembly tape we got that sucker jammed just right in the spark plug hole. The piston would push on the lighter at just the right point to give a spark at BTDC. Couldn't have done it without inspiration from you dude.

I liked that you gave it (6) 5 out of 5 Ichiban Moto stickers! You might have been a little high from the fumes after burning the potting compound.

Bosch sure knows how to make some amazing parts.

thanks a million just installed one and it fired right up! very simple fix for no spark

...this dude rocks! Love the baby vice grip shot (lol)...

Are those metric vice grips?

Had to come check out the comments on this one after watching this epic masterpiece. I need those tool skills and that magical screwdriver. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

These Videos are great. I LOL at every one! Great SOH!

Awesome as ever! I think all new bikes should come with that new CDI system......a real leap forward in terms of reliability and simplicity.Much better than the old system that needs constant adjustment and replacing every five minutes.Where can I get your test light.... that really is BAD ASS!

GORGEOUS ... You are really crazy. Love...

"Make sure not to heat it up too much..." Sets it on fire.

those tools are so badass!

Holding the spark plug is a fine way to get a nice shock. You were lucky this time, Ichiban. On the bright side, the shock tells you it's working. Heck, you don't even need a spark plug when you test it that way. :) Yesterday I realized there are a couple of sets of points in my electrical box. They're going to stay there too. You never know. Also it is kind of an old times' sake thing.

Awesome! :-p (Yoda voice) Natural selection at its finest, your videos are!

That's got to be the most awesome screwdriver I've ever seen LMFAS

Absolute comedy classic, ‘make sure you don’t heat it up too much’😏

You need to come to Indonesia then i will teach you how to modify it with cheaper CDI but you can still get a good result. This old motor bike is so easy to modify if you are in Indonesia, we did it many time just because so many customer come to the workshop but they still love this old motor bike so much then the new one.

Love the tools!!!

thank you for the upload

More like 6 out of 6 stickers! Lol great videos though keep up the good work!

it's good sir wish you all the best

I came here because i got honda rebel 125cc and it has no spark. Couldnt solve it myself. Sent it to shop they fixed it and it cost like 100 euros. In Latvia quite expensive since monthly AVG wage is about 500 eur. Then i run it for 1 day and it died again. Basically i turn it on it runs great and while warming up after 1 minute it died. And no spark. Then i took it to another shop and spent another 150 euros and it ran again. For a few days. Until same happened. I came in the morning to warm it up then it died. It's like it ate all the fuel from carb and died. But there is fuel. Thought it's cdi, but if cdi dies it stays dead. As much as i understand i took apart some stuff and checked wires and fuses. All good. (not 100% sure about wires) I am lost. Maybe you can help. P.S. Good luck with your channel! Subbed :)

Bad ass, nice video.. gracias senor.

Nice video man! Good job

I like that skew driver with the band aid on it

Thanks for your information & work, Could you please post a link to the BOSCH IGNITION SYSTEM? THANKS in advance.

awesom mate greets from australia hope all is still going well

You made it ugly. You converted this bike from CDI back to point ignition system and point ignition is the worst ignition system. CDI ignition replaced the point ignition. Anyhow good video as you brought the bike back to life.

vintage chic with modern reliability....ichiban does it again!

Step by step to inspect current flow 1. Check Battery Voltage 2. Check starter relay 3. Check fuses 4. Check the starter magnet coil 5. Check Ignition coil 6. Check ECU 7. Check fuel lines 8. Check the ON switch.

Lil campfire! Nice preparation. (It might work...) Thanks.

Ignition systems. Piece of cake ! Oh how we laughed....... Bad ass.

This video is.. BADASS!!!!!!! 🤘😂😂😂

Legendary!🤘🏼 Can I use the updated Bosch ignition lobe feeler with my Lunati big lobe ignitorator?

Next time you need to remove black epoxy, don't fight it with a match and cutting tool, just wait for a sunny day and use a fresnel lens from an old projection TV to burn it off. It takes badass to a whole new level!

Where did you find that new ignition system? I need one for a 1983 alt 125 and a 1982 sp125

you make my day :D

sure wished you lived in Port Huron Michigan, I got a 77 TS 250 giving me hell with the wiring

I subscribed after I saw the last 5 seconds.

A spork would have made light work of that epoxy.

If this is real substituting points to replace a cdi is brillant.

I upgraded my 77 kawasaki to that exact same bosch "modern points system" so sweet, requires no adjustment and prob Gained upwards of 50 hp😉

Ichiban is the number one go to Moto tutes on this here interconnected set of tubez! Bad ass!!

I just switched to the same modern Bosch ignition system on my GY6 motor. Now even a scooter can be badass...

Dude you just put that bike back in the dark ages,fucking points.

"New state of the art ignition system." That was a breaker points and condenser trigger system. My 1974 Pontiac had that system from the factory. And they are older than that. They also require periodic maintenance, adjustments, and replacement.

those honda cm's are indestructible little bikes!

Awesome glass insulated motorcycle cdi ignition troubleshooting instrument light.

I did the same upgrade on my bike but i put the Bosch points on my handle bar so I can open and close them manually, you can fine tune the bike while you ride.

Great video

Love the Frankenstein looking screwdriver

you rock mr ichy

Also have a Honda Cm450. I would like to know if do you have any part number for the bosch CDI or a link to where can I purchase one? Been searching to ebay and can't find to see a bosch cdi fit for the cm400/450.

Thank you so much

That's the problem with those high performance, high tech bikes. That's probably a 2014 model, the 2015 model requires a supercomputer hooked up to it just for a diagnosis. Nice to see the problem could be solved with that modern Bosh module :) Does it give any performance increase?

which wire do you connect rhe pick up coil to the points with also will it work any different if I destroy my cdi with a torch and a 30 ton press

what is the part number of that bosch ignitor switch do u think it will work on a 85 xt600 dirt bike

so it dosn't use CDI anymore ? is it give more power than original CDI do ? im just asking

Taped together screwdriver and vise grips. BADASS!

Haha, amazing ignition system.

It would have been helpful to see where the wires from the new module went.

is there any link on the part number from the bosch part?

what is the part number on the bosch system? does the trigger sensor that comes with the bosche system completely replace the pick up coil?

Great video Sir, just wanted the part number of bosch ignition point.

Can you tell me what the name of the part is that you use to bypass it with please

"make sure you don't heat it to much.".he says., ( as cdi box engulfs in flames ) nice!

Being a twin you're working on there, I want to replace the ignition on a cmx 250 motor that's going into an off road frame. So an alternator delete is in order. Need to know if this ignition will work for this swap? Thanks.

Nice video. Sir. I have a Honda Rebel (cmx) 450 from 1987. Recently my right spark doesn't have ignition so I started with the cheapest. I changed the sparks and still no spark on the right one. Then I changed the wires that goes to the coil. It worked the first time It started. The second time I started the motorcycle I had the same problem. When I was testing with my hand if there was pressure getting out from the right muffler I accidentally touched the muffler and I got an electric shock!!! Im thinking there a wire out of place and maybe the ignition coil got busted. any recommendations will be gladly appreciate it.

I both like this dudes videos and hate them whenever I actually need to know the exact method to repair things . .

Now that's Bad Ass!!

TCP squared away too well done socket 2ME needs ductape space tho

lolz the funny thing the guy peed on the old rusty module :D

will this work on my 83 honda sadow 750 it has two cdi ignition boxs though

What timing did the original CDI provide? did it change at higher rpm? it has fixed timing now.

WHERE CAN I BUY THIS PART.

Is there any way to get the part number for the part you added on? I have a 1980 honda cm400a that is doin the same thing

I am very interested in learning how to make that test Light. Would love to see a how to video?

I love it, break shit and then blame it on a bit of rust...guess I need a new part. LOL

খুব ভালো এগিয়ে যান

dont heat it to much boom on fire and doing everything with vice gripes haha to funny thumbs up bro

thats amazing you could kill me laughing bad ass

Did i just get memed watching this??!

i need help with the 1988 gs 450. i have a spark on both sides but on my left side sparks is missing sometimes. if i move the wire away an inch way from the plug the spark is fixed only on higher rpm s. have changed my plugs now what is left is the pulsar, cdi and ignition,. any thoughts? n how do u make that testing light bulb

This gets funnier every time man......lol🤣

Nice a cm400, I'm rebuilding mine and looking for the caps for the ignition coil or a kit where I won't have to rejet my carbs.

Ok this had me going for a spell then I was like wtf is that or what is he doing hmmmm got me

I didnt see how that cover fit over those points, and he forgot to mention the the timing is going to be off by 10 to 20 degrees. OR the part # for the point set. Im going to try this on a Chinese bike Im having trouble with. Im going to use a car coil, condencer and what ever points I can get to fit...if it works, Ill let you know.

good video

Hello Ichiban Could you please let us know the Bosch pickup part number you used. I'm planning to resurrect a 81 Suzuki SP 500.

Hahaha I love this video!!

How do i make one of those test lights?I think it could help me in my day to day electronics job too
