Is this a CR500 CDI?

This came on a 93 engine that I bought. The wire from the stator splits, and the CDI looks small. It looks different than the 97 ignition that I had.

it doesnt look anything like a '98 ignition. im guessing its from a older 500 or possibly older 250, but thats just speculation. good luck

looks like the 86 system i have, my 88 250 ignition is almost identical but the flywheel is not as deep and has a hub looking piece to it

I looked at an online parts diagram from bikes from the late 80's and it looks like there were some change-ups. Most of them have pictures of three different ignition systems. What year did they change to a plastic cdi box?

The part number changed a few times.

im thinking you might have a 85 or 86 setup. im not sure why someone would put that on a 93 though.

looks similar to my 86 system,but mine has the male/female connectors on the wires for the ignitioncoil not a bolt on type ground like that one my ground wire comes from the ignition coil,mine does have the red shrinkwrap on the other wires as well,that flywheel also looks different then mine

You have to know something, other wise you are an idiot.

I took off my 00 CR250 ignition and put this one on a couple of days ago. I can't feel a power difference but I had to turn my idle down with this ignition. It still starts first kick, if you kick it right.

I finally found out what it's from. It's a HRC ignition like this one on eBay.

It has a 30w lighting coil. Is that enough for a decent headlight?

i dont think that would power much. i think the digital cr250 ignition can run lights good. youll need 75-100w at least
