Hi Robert, Thanks Again..... I did manage to tear into it yesterday at lunch and found a faulty CDI (I found the table you referred to). Not sure why it became faulty. When you replaced your CDI did it run fine? As in, was it simply the CDI gone bad or did something else cause this. I would actually suspect the new Electrex stator and reg/rectifier but the static tests of the stator are perfect and my suspicions are that the reg/rectifier is fine as well. Granted this bike is an A2 but only with 32K miles (nice easy miles too , yeah right), I don't wanna put in a new CDI only to toast that soon too. LaterZ Dash
