ten · 08-15-2005

Is there any way possible to make the CDI off of a 1992 ninja 500- Work on a 1992 ninja 250? Ive got a ninja 250 that dosent have a cdi box, but ive got a good cdi off a 1992 ninja 500. the cdi off the 500 has 11 wires going to it, and the 250 only has 7 wires.

I ran your question by one of the techs at Cyclepedia.com and here is his answer. "Unfortunately, the ignition box (which, by the way, is not a CDI box but is called an IC Ignitor box) from the EX500 will not work on the Ninja EX250. Not only is there a difference in the number and function of the wires, but the timing advance is different. The EX250 reaches its full advance of 42 degrees at 4,500 rpm, while the EX500 advances to 37.5 degrees at 10,000 rpm. Also be aware that the Ignitor box from the early 1986 and 1987 EX250s will not work on the 1992 model as the earlier version uses an analog type ignition and the later years have a digital system. These ignition boxes are very reliable, so if you find
one on e-bay or at your local salvage yard for a decent price, I would
not hesitate to buy it, in all probability it is still good. Good luck,
the EX250 is a fine little sport bike and I hope you get yours running
soon."

I doubt he still has this issue after 2 1/2 years.

It's too bad posts are not more like milk..... give off a foul odor to let you know when they are too old to use.

Regardless, the answer is still worthy of keeping. Some guy will need to know this answer in the future and here it is. I learned at least 6 things from his answer I didn't know before.
