Dear members and riders!
I'm happy to join your comunity.
I bought the Sherko 2.9 2011 in GB and delivered to Russia. It looks unbelievable and took just 3 weeks.
I assebled the bike and started it simply. Firstly, i washed it by hi pressure and some water has poured in to the stator through the cables. The spark was disappeared. Two weeks the bike was tested in order to find out where the problem was.
Initially we suspected that the Leonelli CDI broken and i bought a new one. Suddenly, the seller returned money. All mechanics, including Splatshop's, claimed it is hardly related to CDI. However, we begun to test the stator plate and coils. We disassambled it detaching the trigger. The trigger consists of 2 magnet sensors. One of them uses for engine start (when we have less than 1000 rpm) and this sensor is located +20 degree. It is appropriate idea 'coz the CDI can't determain precise rpm and doesn't have the map up to 1000 rpm. The second one uses just for normal motor work.
We tested both sensors and found the first was broken. There are applied 2*SS543AT unipolar magnet sensors by 2$ each. I bought the same sensor here in Samara, Russia - SS511AT - and attached it instead. The bike has started perfectly.
I sincerely hope the desicion will afford you to save a lot of spare money and time, because the problem mostly happens with the hall sensors. I could have buy a new stator (aproximately 150 pounds) and a CDI unit (270 pounds) and wait delivery up to 1 month. Finally, the problem had been solved investing 2$ on the place.
I could advise to test the stator (pins) at first. Hardly the problem is related to CDI.
Thanks!
