I have a 98 te610 without electric start. I bought it not running with no spark. George at uptite checked out the flywheel and said it is O.K. So I picked up a newer Ducati CDI/Coil (the original system had the coil and CDI separate) that is supposed to work. The wiring is somewhat different on the new unit. Can anyone tell me how to wire this up ?Thanks, mudbone
I'm going through a similar process, and the way I'm planning to wire it up is to make my own harness using several diagrams I found online as a starting point. It's probably going to take a few tries, and what with starting a business in the depths of a recession, I haven't had a lot of time or money to deal with it. If I ever get around to it and figure it out, I'll post up what I did. For what it's worth, my bike is a '91 frame with a '98 motor. It was a WXC according to the title, but it is licensed, has turn signals, and is apparently wired more or less to be street legal. Your guess about what it really is/was is as good as mine, but it's my bike, so I love it anyway. The other thing I'm going to have to do is relocate the coil bracket from its location on the frame to another location on the headstock, since the Ducati setup is physically different from the dead SIM unit I replaced.
Your 98 motor should have already have a ducati ignition, husky quit using SEM ignitions in 1994. There would be no reason to put a SEM ignition in a newer motor. Something doesn't add up.
i may have to do the same thing on my 96 te 610....if you get in working can you post pics and/or a schematic for your wiring...
