Pd Kill switch and vortex cdi - Yamaha YFZ450 Forum : YFZ450, YFZ450R, YFZ450X Forums

Aussiequadrider · 01-07-2004, 09:28 PM

After telling half you guys how to connect your kill switch to the solid white wire, this way is disabled when you install a vortex cdi.

So I've worked out a better way that works for both cdi.
Follow the wires up from the oil filler plug (four wires) to just before the first connector (under the hood) the wires separate into pairs.
Pick the white/red pair and splice the longest wire out of the kill switch into the white wire and the short wire from the k/switch into the red wire.
No need to earth any wire.

Good luck, Geoff.

does this mean you have a CDI box? if so, myself and a few other would LOVE a review...

Aussiequadrider · 01-09-2004, 02:15 AM

It is great, we haven't done much testing due to a broken collar bone. but my mechanic was very imppressed with the difference it made.

Bump

I've brought it up as a lot of people couldn't find it.

Good info, Geoff...thanks.....I am going to rewire mine since I have the Vortex X10 installed now. I only tried out #1 on the box, but I was very happy with it. With the Vortex, and 13:1 piston; this quad is much improved. Low end torque is very noticeable...I jumped from my quad to other YFZ's without the 13:1 and I and them; could definitely tell the difference......JIM

Nice post Geoff.

zrider52 · 05-24-2004, 03:19 PM

will this wiring work with the stock cdi?

Aussiequadrider · 05-24-2004, 05:16 PM

Yes.

Geoff.

Quad18star · 05-29-2004, 06:43 PM

I'm gunna try this out and see If i can get it to work ... haven't taken a look at the wirring yet .

BansheeBuzz · 07-03-2004, 05:23 PM

Geoff, how ya going, i get the impression you have just connected the kill switch across the two wires that go to the coil? The dealership here on the Gold Coast still hasn't got my bike in yet so i cannot look at it.

Deigo/ona/450 · 07-23-2004, 09:18 AM

I dont have the new cdi but i connected the long wire to the whie/red wire and grounded the short wire and its not working what am i doing wrong.

Aussiequadrider · 07-23-2004, 04:35 PM

Don't ground any wires.
Follow the instructions above.

tuklugs · 11-19-2004, 10:00 PM

what is the best box to have.

rob20rx7 · 02-19-2005, 01:51 AM

i did as it says, with a Vortex CDI i wired the long wire from the Kill switch to the white and the short wire to the red and it works perfect.

Thanks for the post, Awsome

Starsky · 03-07-2005, 10:57 PM

Im having trouble finding the white and red wires, do you have to split the case around the bundle of wires to find it? Any pics would be much appreciated. thanks
