Anyone know if an 91 cr500 cdi is compatible with the 98 cr500 ignition componets? Have a 98 cr500 that the cdi wires were cut at the very bottom of the cdi with really no way to repair them. Bought a 91 cr500 cdi from ebay, part #'s are different. Do i need to change any ignition parts to use the 91 cdi?

It should work.... the ignition curve is prolly' a little zippier... Every year the factory riders asked for the bike to be tamed down.... so Honda did.
Ride a '86, if you want proof....

The curve will be different, but it will work just fine.

Thanks guys, yeah everything plugs in the same just wasn't sure so i thought i would ask. Had an 85 sold it to build this bike, 98 cr500 in a 03 cr250 frame, but i do have an 86 motor on the shelf which will be my next aluminum frame conversion!
