Starfire ZK CDI

The STARFIRE ZK CDI unit is designed to replace the OEM units fitted to the Kawasaki H1D, H2 and KH400 series of bikes. A sub model replaces the two OEM boxes on the H1E/F and KH500.This unit replaces ALL the four original CDI boxes of the H1D/H2 with one small and compact unit, the size of a pack of cigarettes, and directly replaces the OEM unit on the KH400.

Several improvements to the stock system are incorporated to allow for the now ageing components in the magneto assembly, and trigger or signal coils.

Unlike the other models in the Starfire range, these units work as the original units, and require intact magneto coils to work.

3 1/2 inches long, 2 3/4 wide, and 1 1/4 high
Distance between mounting holes is 3 3/4.

1) Remove old units from bike, and mount the Starfire unit in place. This can simply be held safely to the platform with double sided tape, although mounting lugs are supplied.
2) Connect the RED wire from the cdi to the RED/WHITE in the harness. This is the ignition coil primaries.
3) Connect the the BLACK wire from the CDI to a firm ground.
4) Connect the ORANGE CDI wire to the ORANGE wire in the harness. This is the high voltage from the magneto.
5) Connect the GREY CDI wire to the BLACK/WHITE in the harness. This is the existing kill switch.
6) Connect the BROWN CDI wire to the BROWN in the harness. This is the magneto coil ground.
7) Connect the WHITE CDI wire to the WHITE in the harness. This is the trigger coil.
8) The bike will run. It is recommended to check the timing after installation.
