I have never (knock on wood) had a cdi fail. I have had 2 of the attached spark plug boots malfunction.(the origional boot has brass parts screwed into plastic, with a spring underneath.) eventually, you will pull off your sparkplug wire & the brass will be still on your plug. the spring will disappear and you'll be pedalling..... . Since then, I replace the ends with the automotive type first thing.
ya my brass peice and my spring fell out friday but luckyily i found them on my motor i just pulled off my spark plug cap and thay fell out but i put them back in and it works fine and my wires were being stupid but i fixed that. question is it normal that the spark plug cover is loose?
I had one fail after only a couple of hours. Fortunately it didn't stop working completly so I was able to get home from work with the engine misfiring.

O I SEE i only have a choice to fix it or wait till i get a new part i only got one bike. but i try to make mine last as long as possible with out spending to much money.lol
Also I'd like to add a warning (hopefully not too late for some).
With certain CDI units, it is sure death to pull the plug wire off and turn the engine over....I found this out by doing just that with a Kawaski powered aircraft. It smoked the CDI instantly.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR PLUG IS WELL GROUNDED TO THE ENGINE WHEN TURNING IT OVER.
