Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Hello, I have a 1976 MR175 that has a shot ignition system. I was trying to decide if I should buy a whole new ignition system when I found a 1979 CR125R in a dumpster at work. I brought that bike home and a great idea came to mind, replace the Points system in the MR175 with the CDI Ignition in the CR. The ignition system in the CR was very clean, and I know it can work with a little modification. The parts bolt in because I have bolted them in, but im just wondering if anyone has done this before? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

P.S. This is a great website, keep up the good work

I dont have an answer to your cdi question, but I know of a place that can rewind your old stator if that will help. If you need it let me know. Gary

This may work out alright.
I would suggest you make an accurate check on ignition timing once its running.......especially fully advanced at high RPM.
