I think my problem lies in the voltage generated by the SR500 pickup. The Yamaha high speed pickup coil is 15 ohms. The Honda is 150 ohms. There's likely to be different outputs from these coils, probably different enough that the Honda cdi won't work properly. I already have the Suzuki gn250 tci parts and I'll try them but I kind of expect similar results.
Kojack, you must be a good auto electrician judging by the fact you have not yet broken the seal on that harness smoke bottle...
Well, i finished my testing on the gy6 ignition today and unfortunately the results were poor. This CDI just doesn't advance. The system could be usable if I wanted to switch between no advance and full advance, like the old Harleys and Indians, but I'm looking for something better. I have the Suzuki TCI that I'll try next but that won't happen before January.
BTW: I don't think your SR500 pickup is really 15 ohms not sure though. lovely bike there one of my favorites, and 5 degrees difference is the difference between starting or throwing you over the side with a kick back on a Yamaha thumper.

I doubt that there is a low speed and hi speed coil. That was kinda unique to the 650. Almost all the boxes I've looked at for singles and twins have had only one pickup.
One of your pickup coils generates the charge that charges the cap in the CDI. The other signals when to fire.
What year sr I may have a diagram.
