Default CDI's

Are all the CDI's the same for the F3? From the years 95 - 98? 49 state to CA only?

I need to replace mine, and need to know if they are interchangeable, or if I have to get my specific year and type.

According to the parts fiche on RonAyers.com:
CDI part numbers 30410-MAL-A01 / 30410-MAL-A81 apply only to 97-98 F3, while
30410-MV9-600 / 30410-MV9-770 or
30410-MAL-671 / 30410-MAL-771 apply 91 F2 thru 96 F3.

It's just a guess, but i bet one of the p/n for each pair is the CALI model, which I think has retarded ignition programmed in...

In one of the F2 / F3 parts interchange threads... http://cbrworld.net/forums/8/15735/ShowThread.aspx
One guy says he used F3 CDI on F2 with ' no problems', but on page 6 of that thread another person says they're 'wired differently'.

I know the carbs on the 97-98 are different (Larger main jets) than 95-96 F3, so it would make sense to me that the later CDI would have a different "map" of throttle position sensor angle versus ignition timing. And the F2 years don't have a TPS at all, so I think that's got to make a difference in the CDI.

To make matters more annoying, the 95-96 CDI box that I have is actually stamped "MALA US 973G 5214", not the p/n above

Thanks for the response.

That helped a lot, I'll have to check what my CDI says. I know that mine is a CA, and that the "AC" version is the California on. FYI for any future lookers
