Do I need to match the OEM part number?

If your original part number does not cross-reference with 68T-85540, 68T-85540-00, treat the fitment as unconfirmed. Do not rely only on the model name or engine size.

If any connector, mounting point, size, or year detail is different, confirm fitment before installation.
My Yamaha T8 wasn��t firing and I replaced the CDI with this unit. Same wire colours and fit perfectly. Motor started right up. I will report back if I have any issues but so far so good.
