06 ttr50. Has the kickstart conversion with no electric start. I went out and rode it then came back and let it sit for about a half hour then went to start it and found no spark. So i checked everything from the manual. Unplugged boh of the killswitches to see, and nothing. Looked to see if i was getting power from the magneto, and i did. The only thing i noticed was the coils orange wire was not getting any power. Checked the coil with the Ohmmeter and it had some power. How can i test the CDI on it? Or what should i look for next. Ohmmeters are too confusing, i prefer checking for voltage...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

yeah. so i went ahead and retested everything. Coil was fine. But CDI wasnt giving the right OHMs. SO i ordered another. But i got a little curious and started taking the old one apart. About 6 of the diodes were blown and the epoxy all inside you could tell had melted. Anyone know why CDIs just go bad randomly? I remember before the bike finally lost all spark, it would start and run horrible for about 10 seconds, die, then it wouldnt start for about an hour.
Thanks guys
