Even though you have voltage coming to and from the cdi does not conform it’s working.  

Two ways to see if it’s the cdi. 1 is find a used on from another bike same type and swap it and see if that fixed it. 2 is try to dry it out and see if that works.  Most cdi units go bad due to moisture.  Try to put it in the oven for 10 min on 250 deg.  Let it cool down and give it a shot.  If the spark works then obviously a cdi replacement is needed. The heating it up is only a temp fix as it will loose spark again. 

This worked for me but I had to replace the cdi bc it def failed again after a day or two due to moisture re entering the cdi. 

As far as testing the stator and regulator, ignition coil are all within spec with an ohm meter ?

Yes everything else checks out with the ohm meter only thing I haven't tried was my kill switch could be screwed and some one Also said the two black wires on the break lever sometimes go bad. Was told to cut them and ground them out is this true

The two black wires on the brake lever ? A parking brake that has to be pulled in for the bike to start? I don’t think a bike of that age would have that. But double check. Also the kill switch. Simple test is to look for the two wires that kill the bike. Most are black with a white stripe and all black.  You have to put a continuity tester on the two wires at the switch and see if it rings when you hit the kill switch.  In order to do this properly you have to have the manual to see exactly what wires to test  

Have you tried what i said with the cdi ?

      Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?

      any one know much about how this system works. Replaced voltage regulator cid box coil pickup coil have power to cid box none out to coil any thoughts. This is cid box number three

      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.
