bike is sold Sold!!!!

I finally got the old gal running so it's time to sell her. Originally purchased from Paul at County Cycle in 2014 where he turned it into one of his woods weapons. The rectifier went out on me at the Zink Ranch NEPG enduro in the fall of 2016. I bought a 4T when I got home and my GasGas has...

I will take the voltage regulator/rectifier. PM sent.

different CDI for estart vs kick Thanks for the offer dANBOT - I'll see how much it would cost. I don't doubt that you are correct on the estart vs kicker CDI, but I cannot reconcile that with my own experience. I removed the need for a key pretty early on after I bought it. The bike ran...

I'm starting to feel like the guy that farted in church here. Is it bad form to try to get someone else to test out my CDI on their bike? I'm certainly open to suggestions here. I haven't tested the stator yet - wonder if I should try that?

Well it's been a while since I've been on the forum. My 2014 GasGas XC300 quit running at the Zink Ranch NEPG at the end of the last test section back in 2016. She's been sitting in my garage torn apart ever since (racing a Husky 4T now). I suspect my CDI. A number of months prior to Zink I...

Neil - I went back and looked at my posting history. I removed my e-start in January of 2016 and the bike kickstarted and ran fine until October. You even posted on my thread where I talked about removing the e-start assembly and you posted the two electrical schematics which as you say...

OK I know where that rectifier is. It has a similar location on my 2014 but it looks like a small amplifier with heat sink fins all over it. I sent an email to JD Racing Ignition in Italy asking how to test the ECU. They pointed me at 2 US distributors. Will keep the forum posted on how this...

Battery? danBot - I removed the battery from my bike when I took off all of the e-start parts. My bike has kick started and run fine until it quit at Zink Ranch. I am confuzzled!

One thing I am doing which is going to showcase my ignorance about electric systems on a bike is I am using the terms CDI and ECU interchangeably. If that is wrong, someone give me a slap. Hopefully I haven't confused the situation. The part that failed on danBot and then on my bike which we...

Hi John, Good memory! That is correct - I removed all of the e-start stuff from my bike. But I did that a good while back and the bike ran fine and kicked started fine for a number of months. Also, I disabled the kill switch while I am attempting to debug this latest problem to rule it out...

In October of 2015 I was coming back to camp at the Zink Ranch NEPG and my '14 GG XC300 quit on me. Was able to determine that it was not sparking and got towed back. A month or so prior to this, I was having intermittent spark issues. It turned out to be where the wiring harness plugged into...

Grounded the coil - still no spark Thanks for the replies you guys. I don't have ready access to a welder, but I think I have worked around that - still no luck. In the picture below, I zip tied the coil to the frame in almost exactly the same spot it was before. You can see the remains of...

A few months ago my bike would spark intermittently and we tracked it down to loose connections in the CDI. Followed the advice on someone on the forum who had the same problem (bent the tabs to ensure tight contact). That resolved things. Last weekend at the Zink Ranch National Enduro the...

Welcome! You win purely on the title of your post BTW. ;-)
