blowit Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I can't tell you how many new CDIs did NOT fix the problem but when the problem cannot be found, the CDI gets replaced. This is why I recommend borrowing first. i did that a month ago on a very difficult electrical issue even though I knew the CDI was very likely fine. Have to rule it out to focus on other things without tail chasing. No, pulling on wires or whatever will NOT hurt a CDI. Unless you can visibly see the plug move on the CDI, they are potted and not subject to that type of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) This is how the coil wires go right? orange to the front and ground to the back? I don't any a CDI I can borrow :/ Edited April 21, 2014 by TroyBrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 New CDI didn't change a thing, still no spark. I've checked everything I can think of, now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 But when I wrapped the stator connection it ran fine but if I moved it at all it died broken wire inside insulation or right at a pin, causing poor connection. Ohms check and wiggle at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Flywheel and key Stator Pick up and pick up gap Wiring harness Un wrapped and gone through Plugs and connectors cleaned and greased New spark plugs Spark plug boots Clipped ends of coil wire Coil swapped Coil ground surface cleaned w/ dielectric Harness ground cleaned Tors/park brake/key/tps/ all deleted Disconnected the tether switch Test kill switch Swap CDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Flywheel and key ✔️ Stator ✔️ Pick up and pick up gap✔️ Wiring harness Un wrapped and gone through✔️ Plugs and connectors cleaned and greased✔️ New spark plugs✔️ Spark plug boots Clipped ends of coil wire Coil swapped Coil ground surface cleaned w/ dielectric ✔️ Harness ground cleaned ✔️ Tors/park brake/key/tps/ all deleted✔️ Disconnected the tether switch (don't have one) Test kill switch ✔️ Swap CDI ✔️ So I guess it's time to mess with the Coil that's the only thing left Edited April 29, 2014 by TroyBrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 did you ground the RED/BLACK wire when you deleted the key switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I didn't delete it completely I just grounded the black and red wire using a copper wire in the connector. My key switch never worked anyway, could turn it off and bike would still run. Edited April 29, 2014 by TroyBrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don' think you will find your problem in the coil. Test results sound normal. you do have bran new plugs, right? I have made that mistake before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Brand new plugs, just went and got them. 16k resistance cap to cap seems high, someone tested theirs and showed me and it came around 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I get a big jump from 17 ohms to over 15,000 behind the green and red wire from that stator, is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Still at a lost with this thing, everything is good but something has to be wrong, what are the chances of sitting on 3 dead CDIs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Buy a new harness. You probably need a new one anyway. Ohm testing the harness only checks for broken or high corrosion connections. It does not check for partially broken wires and connections that cant carry a load. You need to check voltage drop for that. Harness is cheap and its usually the issue in my experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harness is cheap and its usually the issue in my experience I'm not really sure my harness has anything to do with it since I swapped another one in and got no change but I was considering it.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Did you check the wires from the stator plug all the way into the stator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
