Welcome aboard!

XRV 650s (RD03) are kown to have problem with the CDI unit thats under the seat.
Is that what you talk about?
If it isn't I am affraid it will be on the future. It is the same problem
that the Transalp had (still have?) and it is caused because the CDI is too
high and the seat presses its top and brakes the connections.
Solution = put a metal or wooden or whatever thing betwin the seat and the
frame of the bike to lift the seat a little bit so you protect the CDIs.
I think Beppe Bourlano once wrote about a rubber thing that does this and is
made by Honda and he had the serial no, look it up on the database of old
postings or maby Beppe can remind us...

So, keep ridin
