looks like a perfect fit

I'm glad you found a CDI unit for your ZS250GS. :) Please keep us updated concerning how well it works for you.

wiring
 

hey spud i got a question concerning the green and white wire off the trigger coil if it suppose to go to a common ground string or on its own to the cdi box all the diagrams i found have it going from A to B with out connecting to any other grounds

I can't tell you, Kid. :? The CDI unit for my Zongshen 200GY-2 is an AC-CDI unit, and is wired differently than yours. I suggest you follow the lead coming from the pickup coil, and see where it connects. ;)

i followed both ends and one goes to the ground wiring the other right to the cdi but on both ac and cd the 8 pin skim shows the cdi having its own wires to the cdi no common grounds i was told the ly200 box would work on a 250gs any one tried by chance?

The original, stock CDI unit for my ZS200GY-2 was an LY200 CDI. However, it was an AC-CDI unit. Apparently, the LY200 CDI is available in both AC and DC versions. Here's a link to an LY200 CDI unit I found on Taobao.

This is a DC-CDI unit, and it is supposed to work for your ZS250GS motorcycle. You should order the CDI-ZS067-002 shown in the link above.

My ZS200GY-2 motorcycle is now using a CDI-ZS067-001 unit, which is the AC version. I don't know why, but the AC version is over twice as expensive as your DC version. :roll:

Have you confirmed the ZS250GS wiring diagram is correct for your bike? Does you bike employ a DC-CDI unit, as shown in the wiring diagram?

Spud :)

The two wires from the pickup coil connect to two, separate connectors on the wiring harness for my ZS200GY-2 motorcycle. However, these wires disappear into the wiring loom, so I don't know if the ground wire is common. In any event, I don't think it makes any difference; a ground wire is a ground wire. ;)

rut..rooo.....
 

i keep finding different wiring diagrams for my bike i'm up to 3 now.... but i'm willing to try

Re: rut..rooo.....
 

Turn on the ignition key, and make sure the engine kill switch is in the "run" position. Get a digital multimeter, and set it to measure 12V DC. Then connect the negative probe of the digital multimeter to ground. One wire at a time, connect the positive probe of the digital multimeter to all of the wires in the harness connecting to the CDI unit. If one of the wires measures 12V+, your ZS250GS has a DC-CDI unit. ;)

and if not...

If not, then you have an AC-CDI unit. ;)

*beats his head on the brick wall's of insanity) my battery's dead.............

You've got to replace the battery before you can test the CDI wiring. ;) What size battery is now installed? I would guess a YTZ7S battery will work well in your Zong, if the dimensions are correct. ;)
