Thats the single phase one, heres my three phase one.
I had a single phase one first, 2009, then on the way back from IOW my big end went
when i stripped it down the stator coils were darker brown and looked burnt ? I took it back to Readspeed and Jerome changed it and gave me a new three phase one.The CDi on the single phase one was similar to below (not the same one)
http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/CD1214.html
Anyway the readings are
Pick up between Brown and White/Black wires 437 Ohm
LT coil between Black/Red and White/black wires 220 ohm
If i were you id speak to Electrex or ring / go to Readspeed ( but make sure you ask to speak to Jerome
)Hope that helps

Plate is marked by Electrex alright, have sent them an email with some photos and asked for resistance figures and which replacement CDI is suitable. I take it the 3 phase/8 coil gives you better lights?? Electrics aren't really my strong point 
Emailed Jerome too a couple of days ago but no reply as yet...
