Today I decided to give the bike a test ride before heading down to the snake hunt in a few weeks. It was running fine for about 45 minutes until the engine started sputtering and would not rev up. So I put a new plug in and once it started It was running even worse, this time it kept backfiring and eventually died. Now the bike has no spark at all, I checked the coil and stator according to the manual and they seem to be in good shape. All grounds and connections are good, however, It does have an aftermarket CDI and not an OEM honda. I know the oem is much better but when I bought the bike the previous owner had just installed this cdi, so its only a few weeks old. Is it possible that this cdi could have gone bad that quickly??
