Hello all!
New member here -- I ride for 2-3 days a year, and picked up a 2007 250 XC-W last summer as my first KTM.
The bike flat out rips -- almost too much! I'm running the "mellow" IG map wire setting, and I love it.
While riding last September on my 2nd day of sandy hill climbs (no crashes though), the bike cut out unexpectedly while riding mid-throttle down a flat straightaway headed to another trail.
I pulled off... kick kick kick... NOTHING!
I pulled the plug and swapping in another one.
Still, nothing.
No spark visible.
I left the bike, grabbed a friends truck, and picked it up after about an hour.
I decided to kick it over again, just in case.
It caught for a couple seconds, sputter, then died.
Great compression, but no spark.
I checked the kill switch continuity (checked out), and decided my riding was done.
I ended up buying and installing a new coil and plug, but still no spark... nothing.
I'm assuming it's either the stator or the CDI box.
Any recommendations for how to check the CDI?
If I re-wire to the "RACE" IG map, would that possibly fix it?
My main question is... how do I find the right part # for the 07 XC-W 250 2stroke bikes?
The bike doesn't have a battery or headlamp, and I can only find replacement stators for the 08 and new bikes.
Please help!
Thanks!!
