Interchangable parts?

ihampson:
Any advice regarding the stator and cdi? if the cranks are the same, are the flywheels and would i be able to mount the 87 ignition system? Clymer manual show different cdi`s for different years. they have various amounts and colours of wires so is each one specific to certain models and would it have to match the barrel and/or crank,flywheel .. or do i only have to match the stator and cdi?
the way i see it is if you can mount it and get a spark at the right timing it would be ok? or am i overlooking something that would stop it working? as i said i am new to kx`s and two stroke. all of my experience is with cars.
What are you using in your kdx cr480?

CR480R:
I am using the Kdx ignition...  I dont know if it will perform as well as the ignition that matches the KX cylinder but its what I have... I have used an '85 Kx ignition on my '84 tecate and also used it with a '84 kx cylinder with great results... I dont think the ignition changes between the years is enough to worry about.. As long as the stator bolts up to the case you should be fine

ihampson:
Did everything bolt straight on to the crank ok and does the stator bolt on behind or in front of the rotor? i cant remember what mine is like as i haven`t really messed with it as i need a puller before i can get stuck into it. will go and check what mines like ...

ihampson:
I have had a look at my stator and it is behind the rotor. I have also uncovered some new problems! it took me all of two minutes to take the rotor off with out a puller. the rotor came lose as soon as i undid the bolt and then i saw the woodruff key had sheared off. the pickups seem to be intact and ok but the seal behind the stator is leaking and has been patched with chemical metal (seems like a attempt to cure the leak rather than repair the case, hopefully!) do i have to split the case to remove that seal?

CR480R:
yeah you have to spit the cases to change crank seals on kawasakis
