You cannot start bike without battery connected to it. Atleast you need battery to ignite spark inside the engine. You can start the bike with dead battery using jump connectio.
What does CDI do on motorcycle?
Essentially, a CDI box controls a motorcycle’s ignition system by starting the ignition and combustion process. A pulse of voltage from the motorcycle battery passes through the CDI box to fire up the spark plug.
How does CDI box get power?
A CDI box works via the voltage from your motorcycle battery, and the electrical load discharges in one operation, starting the ignition and combustion processes. It takes a pulse of voltage passing through the CDI box to fire up the spark plug. These types of boxes have high spark voltage with short duration.
How does a CDI ignition system work?
Working Principle of a CDI System. A capacitor discharge ignition works by passing an electrical current over a capacitor. This type of ignition builds up a charge quickly. A CDI ignition starts by generating a charge and storing it up before sending it out to the spark plug in order to ignite the engine.

Can a bike start without CDI?
Is there a way to start a bike without the CDI unit? – Quora. Yes, you can with a mechanical unit. But customizing one will take lots of time and effort. It might be even more costly to custom build one as the CDI on the market shelf is mass produced one hence efficiently produced.
What are the symptoms of a bad CDI box?
Symptoms could include misfiring, dead cylinders, backfiring, bizarre tach behavior, and countless other things related to how your engine’s running. The problem may get worse as the bike warms up. It might not even hold low revs at all.
How do I know if CDI is not working?
Can a bad CDI cause no spark?
The CDI is not easy to diagnose because the observable symptoms of a faulty CDI box can lead to different directions. Sometimes, a bad CDI does not cause sparks at all. These mentioned symptoms can be confusing and one has to be careful before concluding that the problem is with the CDI.
Will my Enfield Thunderbird start without a battery?
The 2009 Thunderbird is a carb one with a TCI system for ignition. It does not have an ECU. Enfield sold few models with CDI units for a span of 4 years in early 2000. These run and start without a battery/dead battery. Re: Why does my bike need a battery to run while kick-starting?
Does the Enfield Thunderbird have a CDI ignition system?
The 2009 Thunderbird is a carb one with a TCI system for ignition. It does not have an ECU. Enfield sold few models with CDI units for a span of 4 years in early 2000. These run and start without a battery/dead battery. Spot on!
Why won’t my Thunderbird start with a bad battery?
Your Thunderbird not wanting to start with a bad battery has most likely nothing to do with CDI. Your Thunderbird has an ECU that amongst other things, controls fuel injection and ignition. It needs a steady voltage to work properly. Kick starting (with a bad battery) won’t provide that steady voltage.
Where does Thunderbird store its imaging data?
The stuff you mention is all in the profile, which your imaging process will presumably restore back to drive D. The instruction to Thunderbird refer to drive D to find its profile is stored in the profiles.ini file which will presumably be restored by your imaging process back to drive C.
