Where to buy CDI for Zongshen ZS200GY-2 (Sierra 200)

[Rickus]

Howdy Yall,

Does anyone know where to purchase a CDI box for Zongshen ZS200GY-2 (Sierra 200).

I noticed a lot of links in "Spudriders" posts are broken and I am not having any luck finding the replacement I need.

My CDI is an 8 pin which reads CDI ZS067-001

HCDJ200SZ 612061

You need to look at your style of connector to be 100% positive, but this 8 pin Lifan unit should work , https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Pin-Ignit...YAAOSwhhRbc5SG


Most of the CDI's are common between chinese bikes so the same CDI box is used across a range of CC sized motors as long as they share the same number of pin configuration. ,that particular one is listed as both Lifan and Zhong Shen compatible .

Thanks RedCrow, it seems like all of them come on the slow boat from china, I will order and hurry up and wait I reckon.

Thanks again for the information provided. I hate to wait a month or so but I guess that is the only option.

I recently ordered a spare AC-CDI for my Zongshen from AliExpess:

Just be careful when selecting the "color", order the AC-CDI unit. The DC-CDI might work with some minor rewiring, from what I saw in spud's stickies, but there's no report of anyone actually trying it.

You can try matching it up with the cdi from the brozz or the Csc if you want one sooner ,also Beatrice cycle would have them and many many other more local shops .

Possibly china and I recall there being 2 options.
Maybe a TW200 is a match as it’s a Yamaha TW200 engine

Different animal but yes CG or CB generic can convert from AC to DC in 10 seconds no issue

From what I recall from Spud"s stickies, a TW200 CDI will work but with some intermediate difficulty changes to the wiring, as the kill-switch circuitry/logic is more complex. By the same logic, the Zong CDI will work on a TW200 with similar rewiring. The main difference is cost, as the Yamaha part is way, way more expensive.

I am not sure what you mean by "different animal", but ordering from that vendor I was delivered an original Zongshen Motors part

You posted a CB type CDI ? Common sort?

Anyway I can get either the AC or DC for the Zongshen 200 just need to ID what is needed

[NzBrakelathes]

Which is the one you need? I can sell n post from china

I’m wrong your right.... your link is for that bike..
But seems there’s an AC and DC version so easier to just get the correct type etc

By selecting "AC CDI" I was delivered a part with # CDI-Z067-001, which if you cross-reference with Spud's stickies, is the part # for the ZongShen AC-CDI.

However, just in case, it would not harm anything to take out your existing CDI and comparing numbers/markings, in case they are still legible, and in case your particular Zong has been wired for a DC-CDI.

For reference, the original Zongshen DC-CDI part # is DCI-Z067-002.

I know because I had ordered one of each, since I was unsure about my Zong's wiring, and my existing CDI's markings were faded.

Also you could check wire colors from stator or number of wires
AC wire for CDI typically black with red strip
DC will have black power supply at CDI
I can supply either from China etc

I believe mine is the AC CDI from looking at the markings. I wonder if I should purchase a new stator while I'm at it. Maybe I'm overthinking but I just want to get it going so I can enjoy some fall riding here in East Tennessee.

Look at what stator wire colors you have.
3 yellow and 1 black/red?
Then blue/white as pick up + and green pick up -

I can’t recall if colors where the common like Honda or not
