Banshee Cdi

[370banshee]

ok i have 2 banshee's a 96 and a 87 w/94 engine. recently i was on my 87 and i got rearended by a Z400. well the cdi got smashed. i know that the plugs on the CDI's are differnet 87-94, 95-96, and 97-up. well i thought that al the CDI's were the same except for the plugs being differnet styles. i ended up getting a 99 CDi on ebay pretty cheap so i bought it thinking taht i could just solder the plugs from my 87 CDI onto it. well to my surprise a 99 CDI has on extra wire. the plug to the stator has 4 like the earlier models but the other plug has 5 wires instead of 4. i think hte extra wire is green (i think) i was wondering if that wire is important or not to a 87-96 banshee. or can i just put my lugs on there as planned and it will work?? help i can't ride either banshee and it's driving me nuts

i just went through the same thing ... i was told not to worry bout the extra wire. give it a shot and see what happens . turned out that my cdi wasnt bad it was my stator . good luck
