What Year CR250 Ignition fits?

[cmotodad]

I would like to find out what different year's CR250 ignitions will work on the 500's Thanks

Are the pre 93 analog ignitions an option as far as crank taper, stator and flwheel?

I don't think the earlier units will work, but I could be wrong. I honestly have a hard time telling any difference with the 99 250 set up compared to my stock 500 set up ignition wise; maybe revs a little higher. The lighter flywheel is what I notice the most, much easier to charge into a corner then with the fat 500 flywheel. Hard to believe I had FWW at first on mine

93-96 work fine as well.

I had an '88 cr250 CDI on my '86 with the stock 500 flywheel and stator.

What did the cdi do with the stock flywheel? I have a 96 ignition on one of our bikes. I am looking for another and did not know how many years back I could go. I like the way the bike turns with the lighter flywheel.

'86 is a completely different ignition from and other year cr500 and the '86 flywheel is smaller than the '87+ if I remember correctly.
