Brother Andy didn't have any spark for his 2004 TT-R225. We measured the resistance for the pickup coil, and got zero ohms, which is a direct short circuit. We then measured the resistance of the source/exciter coil, and it was below specifications.

I had a spare Zongshen stator and pickup coil handy, so we drained the oil and installed them in the Yamaha stator cover. Needless to say, the Zongshen parts fit perfectly. At that point, it was simplest, and wisest, to also covert to the Zongshen, Z067-001 CDI unit. After making all the correct connections, the bike fired right up.

Andy says his TT-R225 has never run better. Now that he has a strong, consistent spark, his fuel mileage has also increased about 25 mpg.
