Man I think I just got kicked in muffle bearings. Went by because I needed a CDI and Coil and and couldn't wait the 4-5 days because I have company in town and they are ready to ride. They charged me $24. a piece. it was like $53 and some change after taxes. I think I will wait for parts to be shipped from now own. Also, this is just for the parts and no labor. Anyone else get slapped around by local dealers like this?

How much should they cost? I wish I had a nice local shop I could just walk into and buy what I wanted. It would be worth a 5 spot each visit...

Wow! I'm not sure I would be comfortable relying on a $3 ($10 with shipping) coil from an unknown company. I had no idea they were that cheap. I hear there are a lot of bad out of the box CDI's and Coils is that true?? Count your blessings $64. for OEM or $34.97 for a cheap one plus shipping or 2 trips to the dealer that is 45 miles from my house through horrendous touristy traffic...

It's true that you can get some bad parts but that also holds true for the dealerships also. I'm just going to stick with scrappy and other proven dealers from the board from now on. I was just in a hurry to get one more scooter up for my company that's in town. From now own they will just have to ride what I have running at the time. Next time they can wait for parts to come in, pay the difference or rent a scooter for $40 a day. Oh well it's over and done with I guess. I'll just know better next time.

You really need to watch them corporate type dealers. They will screw you every chance they get.

a local dealer charged me about $20.00 for a CDI a couple years ago, I bought it because I didn't want to wait for one.
