Anyone ever noticed the battery (#7 in the image below) on the JDM Monkey R and RT? Looks like a very thin lithium type thing. And looks like it also has 2 CDI units? Why are the JDM bikes sometimes so drastically different than their US counterparts?

1987? Probably was a cap. not a battery.

I'm pretty sure you're right, but the partslist says 2V battery unit and it costs a whopping €77. The electrical system of these bikes has me a little baffled. Is this why it needs an extra ignition module?

As far as i know a monkey-r has a battery-lesser, no battery.
