i have taken "Old knackered" CDI's to bits before and performed "Repairs" if its a simple component change (resistor/capacitor etc.....)...
if yours is absolutely knackered then youve got nothing to lose......
cut the box open with a hacksaw blade GENTLY at the plug end, the PCB will be "Potted" in and may be a bit hard to get out, see if there is any evidence of "Scorching" on the PCB and an obviously "Blown" component?
scrape off the potting compound and replace the component.....
if you want to do this, let me know...

JonW. yes it's a Japanese one I think, twin front discs, stainless exhaust and no VIN just a frame stamp. V5 says it was declared manufactured 1990 but the numbers on it all say it's a 1989 (K year identifier).
Jaydee, yes please mate, if you could sort the CDI that would be awesome, just got a quote for a new one from the bike shop up Canal Road, £589!!!!. They did also give me the phone no. of a bike breakers as well though. But if you wanna play with this one be my guest, please [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

well, better bring it to a bike meet soon, if im not there you can give it to someone that knows me, it will eventually get to me....unless you live somewhere near tidworth???.......
absolutely no guarantees but worth a go......
i actually repaired a GSX400f one years ago, might be the same as yours (same motor?????).....or is the gsxf motor a sleeved down 600???.......where as yours is a motor shared by?????....
cant break it if its already broke :-)
complexity of job will be reflected in number of kebabs owed at time of completion of job..... ;-)
