Hi Guys, Im a new owner of a 07 CRF450R and this is my first post.

It feels like such a stupid question I have, but it is driving me crazy and Im sure once I know it will be a facepalm moment!

I have had the bike for only about 6 months now and about 1 month ago I removed the fuel tank (Acerbis 12 Liter) to do a few things.

Anyway, its time to put everything back together and I cant figure out for the life of me where the CDI is supposed to sit.

I dont remember where it was before and I have tried putting it in a couple spots, but the oversized tank hits it and just doesnt fit right.

Also, I have a headlight fitted, so not sure if the CDI has been relocated by the previous owner..?

Can anyone tell me, or has a pic of their bike with the tank removed, so I can see where this is supposed to be?

I have tried looking in the manual & searching the net, but I cant find anything or see it in any pictures.

Can somebody please help?

Thanks.

P.S. I have a couple of pictures, but Im not sure how to upload them on this forum..

Ok, I have since learned that it is supposed to go behind the headlight. However the previous owner must have moved it as there is no room behind there anymore, since a headlight was fitted. (the bracket is also gone).

The previous owner has not made up any other sort of bracket or holding device to relocate the CDI, so my best guess is that it was either just wedged in somewhere, or was cabled tied somewhere and I dont even remember cutting the cable ties.

Any ideas on where I can look at what others have done to re-locate the CDI after fitting a headlight?

I think my situation maybe slightly more tricky because of the over-sized tank.

Surely there are others with a 450R that have had to relocate the CDI after fitting a headlight..?

Thanks
