Yam 500 electronic ignition
« on: August 27, 2008, 10:17:51 am »
Hey Guys,

I'm trying to identify an electronic ignition I found in one of my spare TT500 engines.  Does anyone have any info on this item? 


Thanks Guys!

Hi Cowboy Don:-

The CDI Ignition on your TT500 motor is a Mototek, made by Martek Products in America, circa early 1980`s. I ran one on my road-going XT500G for many years, and it performed well. Hope this answers your question.

Cheers from Johns.

Excellent, thanks for that John.  Unfortunately I don't have the CDI unit to go with it, any idea where I can get something like that for it?

Hi Cowboy Don:-

In regards to the Mototek CDI, i still have one, but have lost the fitting instructions long ago.Can`t be rocket science to fit these though, so let me know if you want it or not, maybe a trade for some TT500 bits.

Yours Johns.

www.bettabikes.com (Adelaide) will be able to help you for sure. They did an excellent repair on a GSF 250 digital ignition box and was way cheaper than buying new one at $1150!!!! ouch. they can probably make a CDI box to suit whats on the engine.

Hello from Johns:-

To Matcho Mick or Cowboy Don, are either of you still interested in the Mototek CDI for a Yamaha TT500?
Let us know ,if so do either of you have an original kill switch that was on the TT`s from the ``C`` Model on that is in good condition for my full resto TT500H?

Cheers from Johns.
