is your motor modified? if it is and your running stock cdi it would cause it to go bad, get a after market cdi.

If you are talking about a problem on a 250R there should be no reason to put on any aftermarket CDI. You have a problem some place else if they are going bad. I would check out your stator on the R, they go bad very often. Get the manual and take a reading with a ohm meter and also check the connection from the wires that come off the stator uinder the gas tank.
People change CDI boxes on the 400EX but not on the 250R. But there was a 5 degree difference between the timing on the 86 and the 88 box. Other than that they are the same.
