maybe the motor is knocking and the system is trying to keep it from destroying pistons

No the engine runs very smoothly. The knock senser is design to send a small ac voltage to the CDI unit when it pick up fuel ingition knock At this point the CDI unit changes the engine timing to take away the knocking. This is the way the knock senser works. But I am not sure why the CDI unit is dropping power on the cylinders on power up when the knock senser is connected. Maybe someone who has the knowledge from Yamaha technician of how the program in the CDI. Unit is design to work in relation to its senders around the engine to obtain ignitions control
