Did a forum search but didn't find anything.  The XR650L has a igniter system which gets the power for starting and the lights etc from the battery as appose to the cdi/magneto set-up on other bikes, mechanic said so, I would not know. ???
I've been having issues starting the bike, looks like it is electrical, technician/mechanic tested all electrics and there are no spikes and current where there should be except at the igniter.
My question: I can get a Chinese unit that is basically the same as the Honda unit but it is R1500 cheaper (not a confirmed quote).  Does anybody have advice on the reliability of the Chinese units.
