Timing gap on flywheel

[pigpen966]

Hey guys, I have a 2018 GP 300 with the EE51100CT-CRB-1 CDI. Bike has run great for 210 hours. Started having no spark issues. Came down to bad CDI, got a EE51100CT-CLJ-1 CDI and it fixed no spark but timing is off. After some research they use two different flywheels. CRB-1 uses a 63 degree and the CLJ-1 uses the 30 degree. Anybody have both they can measure the gap for me?

TIA

The gap is non adjustable.

The flywheel can be modified. It's the actual cutout in the flywheel itself. I can't recall where I saw the pics but think it was on Thumpertalk. The Aussie distrubuters were doing cdi updates and mods for owners. Mine is still the old one.

This is the picture of the two. I checked the parts list and there is different numbers for the 18 versus 19.

Would love not to modify it but the CRB-1 CDI is unobtainable I reckon.

Just to confuse you more.. Mine is a CLK on a 2018 EC250. Haven't physically inspected the flywheel cut out.

But in saying that. The CDIs are the same. It's the mapping on them that differs. Might be a dealer somewhere that can reflash the new one to your old 2018 setting vs modifying flywheel. Or can you source a 2019 flywheel?

I've reached out to a couple dealers in the US if they can reflash the CDI to the old map. This is what I'd prefer because the bike runs perfect with the original mapping. Still waiting to hear back from them. Then my next issue is getting it to them. With everything shut down there is NO mail going out of Costa Rica. I can still get stuff here thru a drop shipper but I'd have to find somebody to hand carry it to the states. Probably be at least a 2 month process. I guess that's the price you pay for riding a gasser in paradise!!
