Are you sure it's the Cdi? Have you tested everything else like side stand and clutch switchs etc

Yep cdi allright burned a piece of the board, opened one side of cdi, bad smell coming from it!

I presume you've tried City Spares in Clondalkin, Merlin in Aughrim and P&T in Carrigaline, Gorey Breakers, Inchicore Mc's.
There may be other breakers about.
Failing that there are breakers in the UK that will post, like Scotish Highland Breakers (or something like that).

There's a crowd in the UK that will test and repair your Ignitor,I've seen them advertised in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics,I'll have a root through a few copies later and see if i can find them
