For a wholesale motorcycle CDI quote, “125 CDI” does not identify one exact unit. Send the vehicle and engine details, clear photos of the current module and connectors, and the option you want quoted. Ask the supplier to confirm the exact fitment in writing before you approve a sample or mixed bulk order. A pin count is a useful clue, not proof that two modules are interchangeable.
Quick answer: identify the motorcycle by make, model, year, market and engine code; photograph the label and every connector on the original unit; state whether you are asking about the listed DC 4-pin or AC 5-pin option; then request a written application match, MOQ, sample terms, packing details and destination-based freight quote.
Why “four pin” or “five pin” is not a fitment confirmation
Connector count describes only one visible detail. Before comparing two CDI units, check the complete connector shape, keying, terminal positions and number of plugs. Also compare the label, part reference and the vehicle-specific wiring information. Similar-looking modules can still have different listed applications or electrical arrangements. A product title or a photo cannot replace a fitment confirmation.
Use the service manual or wiring diagram for the exact motorcycle version when available. Send the relevant page or a clear connector diagram to the supplier. Do not assume that a diagram for another year, engine code or market is identical. If the original module has no readable label, tell the supplier that the part number is unknown instead of guessing one.
Prepare the vehicle details before asking for a quote
Start with the information that separates one application from another:
- Motorcycle make, model, model year and sales market.
- Engine code and displacement as shown on the vehicle or its documents.
- Current CDI label or part number, photographed straight on and in focus.
- Front-facing photos of each connector, with the latch and terminal positions visible.
- Wire colors and the correct vehicle wiring-diagram page, if available.
- The option requested, expected order quantity for each option, and delivery country or postal destination.
Keep the photos of the original unit separate from supplier catalog photos. Mark each file with the vehicle or sample reference so your buyer, technician and supplier are discussing the same part.
What the current VOBOM listing does and does not confirm
The catalog lists a motorcycle CDI module with two option labels: “DC 4-pin” and “AC 5-pin.” Its product page is a starting point for an RFQ, not a blanket compatibility chart. The saved source details do not independently map each option to a confirmed vehicle application. For that reason, do not select an option from pin count alone. Ask the seller to confirm your exact motorcycle and engine code against the specific option in writing.
Review the CDI module listing and the wider CDI and ignition electronics category. If the vehicle uses a different configuration, include the original part reference and photos in a motorcycle sourcing inquiry so the option can be checked before quotation.
A seven-point wholesale CDI RFQ checklist
- Application: provide make, model, year, market and engine code. State which details are confirmed and which are still unknown.
- Part identity: attach the original CDI label, part number and connector photos. Include the matching wiring-diagram reference when available.
- Exact option: quote the named listing option, but ask the supplier to verify that it matches the submitted vehicle evidence.
- Quantity: separate the requested quantities by option. Ask whether MOQ applies per option, per model or per order.
- Sample and validation: ask whether a sample is available, its price and lead time, and what evidence the supplier needs to approve the application.
- Commercial terms: request unit price, currency, quote validity, production lead time and payment terms in writing. Keep product price separate from transport.
- Packing and destination: ask for individual packing, carton quantity and dimensions, gross weight, shipping options and a freight quote to the destination you provide. Confirm any branding or neutral-packing request separately.
Compare quotations on the same basis
A low unit price is not comparable if one quote covers a different connector option, an unconfirmed application or a different quantity. Put each supplier’s response into the same fields: exact option, confirmed vehicle reference, MOQ basis, unit price and validity, sample terms, production lead time, packing, carton measurements, gross weight and freight. Record unanswered items as “not confirmed” and resolve them before paying or combining products into one shipment.
Ask the supplier to identify the evidence used for the fitment decision: for example, a matching part reference, a vehicle-specific diagram or a tested sample. If the evidence is incomplete, keep the order conditional and request the missing information. That keeps the quote auditable and makes later repeat orders easier to match.
Validate a sample before a mixed order
For a first order or a new option, agree on the sample and acceptance checks before production. A qualified motorcycle technician should compare the sample with the vehicle-specific service information and carry out any electrical test or installation. Do not modify wiring or connect a part based only on a product photo or a generic pin-count description. Keep the approved sample reference, option label and supplier confirmation with the purchase order.
Copy-and-send RFQ template
You can copy this template and fill in the fields that apply:
Subject: Wholesale motorcycle CDI inquiry — application confirmation required
Motorcycle make / model / year / market:
Engine code / displacement:
Original CDI label or part number:
Requested listing option: DC 4-pin / AC 5-pin / unknown — please identify
Photos attached: module label, each connector face, vehicle wiring-diagram page
Quantity by option:
Destination country / postal code:
Please confirm in writing: exact application match and evidence used, MOQ basis, sample availability and terms, unit price and validity, production lead time, packing details, carton dimensions and gross weight, and freight options.
Branding / neutral packing request, if any:
Before you send the inquiry, check that every photo belongs to the same vehicle and that quantity and destination are included. You can also review the broader electrical parts range or use the regulator and rectifier RFQ checklist for a separate charging-system inquiry.
Common buyer questions
Does a four-pin label prove a CDI fits my motorcycle?
No. It describes the supplier’s option label. Confirm the complete connector layout, part reference and exact vehicle application with the supplier before ordering.
Can I request a quote using only “125 cc”?
That is not enough to identify a specific CDI. Add the make, model, year, market and engine code, plus photos of the original module and connectors.
Should I combine AC and DC options in one order?
Only after the options and quantities are separately identified and the supplier has confirmed each application. Ask how MOQ and packing are calculated for mixed options.
What if I do not know the engine code or part number?
Say so in the inquiry and send clear photos of the vehicle identification and original CDI label. Ask the supplier what additional evidence is needed; do not substitute a guessed reference.
