vulvafan537240 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Swapping coils and stators is not the best way to go about it. Get that meter out and ohm everything. If everything checks good, it's the cdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah that's the plan. I'm just hoping I'm not overlooking something stupid. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 When you check the stator, coil, kill switch and key switch, make your checks at the cdi connector so that you are checking all of the wiring too. Also check the stator at the stator connector since the resistance is so low that the resistance may not be in spec if you go by the reading at the cdi connection.

Free yellow banshee Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sounds good. I downloaded a manual. I will check them all out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well I did some testing. I couldn't get an ohm reading on either coil. I took the wires out and tried to go from the pin in the socket to the contact tab on the outside of the coil. There was nothing. I had a blaster coil laying around and that ohmed out good. So now since I'm frustrated with this thing I'm just going to order a new eom Cdi, new eom coil, and new eom stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Really? WOW! You know that's about $1000? Why not just buy another used, running, Banshee and have a bunch of parts left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Which wires are you testing on the coil? Primary coil is testing is done where the orange and black wires plug on and secondary is plug wire to plug wire. The clymers manual is wrong on coil testing. Don't blow your money on all that. All 3 are not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 are not bad. I will try to test it that way tomorrow. I found a broken wire coming out of the Cdi and I tout that would fix the problem. It didn't. So here is what's going on right now. I pulled the wires out of the coil and to check the pin (see if wires were bad.) now I can't get them back in. I have read good things on here about dynatek. I can get a Cdi and coil for around 300. Then that leaves me with this piece of shit rm stator. I just want to get this thing together with quality parts so it will be somewhat reliable.

Free yellow banshee Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here are some pictures of what the bike looks like now. Everybody loves pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. I will get a meter and check it soon. The TORS was just disconnected at the harnesses and the little black box is gone. The parking brake is disconnected and the wire coming from the throttle has been removed. The bike is a 99. What year CDI's can I use to check it? I might be able to get my hands on one. Sorry guys I made a mistake here. This bike is a 96 not a 99. Not sure if that makes any difference. I know the Cdi is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 UPDATE. I bought the dynatek CDI and coil. Sparks like a champ now. Ended up being the CDI. I put the old CDI on with the new coil and it wouldn't spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that it's up and running you'll have to change EVERYTHING on it just like most of us do. Have fun. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
