I see them go for big bucks on EBay, but never hear anyone posting problems with theirs...... never had one go bad in any of my trikes either. Has anyone actually had a CDI module go bad on them? Does the bike just quit completely or what? :wondering

Big bucks? I see them sell for 9.99 to 40$ tops myself.

Anyhoot, in all the machines I've ever owned, no I have never had one die.............When it dies there is no spark, badda bing badda boom....

One went bad on a friends TRX200sx. I know they normally don't go bad so I replaced the stator coil, ignition coil, and wiring harness before finally replacing the CDI.

Yup, pretty simple to figure out if you do it right,
