CT175 no spark
« on: March 19, 2009, 11:43:46 pm »
Can anyone inform me whether a CT175 Yamaha needs a good battery to run. Bike has no spark and the battery is shagged.

Battery NOT required at all for spark, points magneto system ignition. Battery for lighting curcuit.

Doesn't need a battery.

Call it a CT1 and people won't think you're screwing up your Honda's engine capacity. ;)
