I have a $100 I could give you for them, I dont mean to lowball but we are actually going to new york in two weeks so we are saving what we can, did you sell the fronts?

Thats what I said. I knew he was reading that meter wrong.
No I was reading my meter correctly, I had checked the resistance of all the harness wires and found them to be slightly high, so I cut everything out and left 3-4 inch leads to rewire it, then it still wouldnt start. I never thought the 3 inch long wire left on my coil would not allow it to run, it had been runnning so recently I still dont know what changed but it did.

I got fed up with it the other nite. I went back at it last nite, basically all that was there was the coil, the cdi, and the stator. The cdi had 4 inch long wires coming out of it. The coil had about 3 inches of each lead, and the stator had about a foot of wire on it. I had made temporary connections and run jumper wires to everything. I had been looking at the harness and how it works, and I realized I was only testing power to the coil wire where I had cut off the original and twisted a new jumper wire in. For curiosity I pulled off the 3 inch long wires I had left on the coil. I checked resistance and got a reading of 59 M of resistance. I changed the wire all the way to the coil and got immediate spark. It is so stupid but nothing I even thought to check for. I knew everything was working right and decided it had to be wiring. I really learned alot and should be a genius at diagnosing these things now. Anyways, thanks for those that helped, it finally just showed itself and the bike rips!!!v

Did you send me pics on the front end? I have cash for it

I am getting desperate, I consider myself a pretty good electrician, I have never had to pay someone to look at anything I own. I am looking for the best of the best, send me your number or i'll send mine. If you can help me over the phone diagnose this electrical joke I will paypal you money for your time. It is not something easy or simple, I have power to the coil, no spark, good grounds, a clean harness, swapped coils, stator, cdi's, pickups, everything. I dont have an easy issue with a kill switch or something, I have tested everything. Let me know if you think you can help me, I am sitting here with the bike and all the tools right now, I want this thing running tonight!!!

Ok, I am using my big drill to spin my motor, I am getting 32 volts from the stator, I am getting 6 volts at the ignition coil orange wire. I have hard wired everything together and have continuity throughout. What causes the coil to discharge? It has to store a voltage and then release it, what causes it to release?

Magnetic as it sits. The flywheel is one big magnet with a metal casing
Thats right, when it is off you can set the key and the nut in it and they wont fall out
-
Just my .02 but I know that broken magnets inside the flywheel can cause havock also. If the people who worked on your flywheel lately accidently dropped it, you could have cracked magnets inside. Did you try swapping out with a known good one?
I havent swapped the flywheel yet, lynn at lc performance lightened it and I trust he would have told me if there was an issue, should the flywheel be magnetic as it sits or only when it spins creating the field?
-
I would be interested in the whole front end, send me pics to mdemco@gmail.com along with an idea of age and condition, thanks

We had put a new stator on, after that it ran beautiful but then this started happening. Also the spark plug in the left side, the white pary turns very black and oily after a short drive up the street.
try swapping spark plug boots and see if the problem moves to the opposite cylinder. Those boots are notorious for going bad.
-
Damn man I dont know. You say everything is getting power yet it wont fire. It just doesnt add up. You have to be reading something wrong with that meter.
Stick the meter proble in the plug boot and ground the other and see what it reads. If it reads what youve been seeing on the other parts then you arent doing somehting right.
could it possibly be the way my coil is grounded. I know that in order for a coil to fire it must have power to it to build the magnetic field, then there must be a break in the circuit for the field to collapse and allow the current to shoot down the spark plug wire. As of now the negative wire is grounded directly to the motor, so what I am wondering is where does the circuit get its break in order to fire the coil. Is it on the negative side, or is it controlled through the positive side. If it is on the negative side, do I have to run the black coil wire to the cdi box and not common ground. As of now they both run directly to engine ground.

I get a reading at my coil wire of around 2.5 volts at the orange wire before the kick ends, so maybe not enough power at the coil to fire the plugs, or an issue with the cdi, but I swapped cdi's and no change.

Like I said I dont know what your knowledge is but if you dont know exactly how to use a multimeter you are waisting your time. You arent making power. Its that simple. Is the stator black wire grounded? Going by your little picture it doesnt look like it is. If not. Thats the problem.
I am very familiar with my meter, I hooked the black from the stator up to the rest of my grounds going to the head studs and it made no change, I have power from the stator, my meter just cant read it fast enough. When I check power normally, it peaks the bar graph, goes into a protect mode to make sure it isnt going to blow, and then displays a reading, anytime I check a reading it takes about a second to display it shows 0.0 then displays what is there, it is doing just that and than the signal ends, it is a fairly expensive fluke and is very precise.
-
Are you sure the black wire coming off the stator is grounded?
The black wire on the stator is to connect the lights to ground, the stator is the source of the ground and it is bolted to the engine, so I checked continuity from the head studs to the stator ground bolt and I have it. I just assumed the black off the stator is just for the whole harness to have a single source to ground to the stator, so grounding to the head studs should be the same thing. I took all my lights out, I am just trying to at least get spark.
-
K, I just put my meter to AC power, ran the leads into the green and red from the stator and kicked, the bar graph peaks, and the display goes to 0.0 to take a reading, then the kick ends and the motor stops spinning, the meter doesnt get a readout quick enough, but it is getting power from the stator.
-
Swapped coils again with the red/black wire grounded, no change, this is a coil of a running bike.
Voltage regulator is only for the lights not ignition.
Awesome ideas on this stuff but I still have no spark, this really sucks
-
I changed the harness to ground red/black my pic shows the change, still no spark when holding the plug on the head and kicking.
How I tested for power at the coil was hooking my meter up to the orange wire and ground and kicking the bike, the meter peaks like it is trying to read the voltage but it isnt long enough to give a readout, but it is peaking and showing current with the little bar graph display on the meter.
-
I have tested the coil and it passes, it is not discharging like it should, my ide of the coil operation is the coil charges, the pickup coil sends a signal to the cdi and the cdi has the ignition coil discharge. It seems to be getting power but not releasing it to the plugs. I have no spark through the wires even with the caps off the wires.
It has no off and on switches, they have all been bypassed. It has no spark at all, the coil is wired right, I have two bikes to make sure things are right. One thing I think is the red/black wire from the cdi needs to be grounded, I tried and it made no difference. Thanks for any help!!!

No, only whats in that pic is what is left

This is a mess, I bought a bike, it turned out to be a peiced together joke, so I parted it out to start over. Spent 15 hours yesterday and got my all new bike together and it has no spark.
I have swapped the stator with a brand new one
swapped the cdi
swapped the coil
I have power to the coil, my meter spikes on the orange wire when I kick the bike over
I have tested the coil, pickup coil and stator.
I have pulled the harness, checked every wire
I took the harness and cut out everything but ignition, grounded the cdi and the coil, and still no spark. I dont know what to be looking for, I assume if the coil has power, it is not discharging, so pickup coil or cdi. I have tried two pickup coils, swapped the cdi's and verified the pickup coil gap. I have a pic of what I did to my harness, my grounds are right to the head studs. I even tested ground continuity. I may have the kill switch wires messed up but I dont think so.
Basically I figure the red/black black/white wires coming off the cdi need to be open to run, when they complete the circuit it kills. but I may be wrong.
I have seen posts of the flywheel being bad, I just had it machined, this bike ran 3 weeks ago. I am worried because I pinched a dome seal and got coolant in the bottom end, I want to get this thing running asap to make sure it is all out, any advice would be appreciated!!!!!!!!

Is that with the beadlocks and spare parts? I had contacted you before on this bike and am still looking.
