    Found my first flaw in my 12 CR144. This may be old news to people familiar with this gen frame, search turned up only a brief mention burried in an unrelated thread. It may also only happen to MX ridden machines.

    The CDI easily slides out of the rubber suspension. There are two tiny tabs molded into the CDI meant to prevent this, but they don't cut it. I came back from a 20 minute moto to see my CDI dangling by the harness. Horrified, I assume it was slamming around on the motor/carb/frame. Not cool for delicate circuitry. Next moto it had almost worked its way out. When I got home I ran a zip-tye around in, through the rubber mount loops to really squeeze the suspension to the CDI, and slipped it back over the frame tabs. We'll see if this ends it, seems like it will. BEWARE!!

    Our '11 150 CDI is mounted differently than the '12's. It hangs under the tank next to the left motor mount. You can't see it real well under the larger tank but the bottom edge is circled in the pic. We've never had an issue with it coming out of the mount in lots of races.
