Understanding the basic parts and components of your motorcycle is vital to help the owner take proper care of your motorcycle and ensure that your bike runs efficiently at all times. The CDI ignition, motorcycle stator, and any other motorcycle part may seem too complex for beginners. Please take the time to read below to learn more about the role you play in riding your motorcycle.

CDI ignition

CDI ignition, or capacitor discharge, is one of many automotive electronic ignition systems often used to power small engines, automobiles, turbine-driven aircraft, and motorcycles. It was invented to deal with the long charging times that were all too common with high inductance coils. It first emerged in the automotive industry in the 1980s.

When used in vehicles and motorcycles, the basic principle in the use of a CDI ignition is based on the electrical induction of the coil to generate electricity capable of bursting the spark plug. Most CDI modules are made up of a small transformer, a drive circuit, a charging circuit, and a main capacitor. CDI systems vary in the amount of energy they can store, which is typically around 50 mJ or more.

motorcycle charging system

Any motorcycle will primarily use a battery, either to store a certain amount of electrical energy or to provide the power that will run the bike. However, the battery must be charged before it can perform any of these functions. Ideally, it should be charged at 14.4 VDC to produce enough voltage at certain engine speeds.

There are currently two basic systems used to charge motorcycle batteries. The first is the Permanent Magnet Generator System, in which a copper wire wound around the motorcycle’s stator helps produce power. Meanwhile, the second system is called Field Controlled Generator System. This works similar to a permanent magnet generator but without the use of a magnet, instead relying on an electromagnet to generate that magnetic field. This is similar to a car charging system.

motorcycle stator

The stator is a stationary part of a motorcycle’s alternator, which can be tricky for beginners to understand, so it’s important to take a look at the basic electrical system used on a motorcycle. It is an important part of any vehicle to produce and store electricity that will later be used to operate it. The alternator is responsible for producing AC to power taillights, halogen bulbs, and ignition systems. Since the battery cannot be used to store AC, it must be converted to DC or DC instead to store it.

There are a number of designs available for a motorcycle stator on the market today, but most of them follow the same basic principle. Moving a magnet through a coil helps the coil generate a burst of electricity. The length and number of winding components in a stator will vary depending on the power requirements of your motorcycle and will ensure optimal power output from your vehicle.

Now that you have an idea of ​​the function of the CDI ignition and other aftermarket motorcycle parts, I will let you know which one to buy in case you need a replacement. If you’re still not sure, you can always consult a professional for advice on making the right purchase.
