Solenoid and harness melted down


On 16-JAN-2006, when riding to my office in the morning, just 3 km away from my home, I had another CDI problem. I stopped beside the road, in order to temporarily fix it. Then I saw some small clouds of smoke coming out of the solenoid cap, and it smelled very strange. A quick inspection showed, that nearly everything around the terminals was melted down, even the plastic body of the main fuse, and the harness. No way to ride on, electric was completely dead now ... :( See the pics.

Repair progress notes:

Seems like I had one ton of good luck though. If I wouldn't have noticed the problem still early enough, the bike could possibly have been burnt.
