candybanshee Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 pick up gap is good and no loose connections and flywheel is deff tight. i may have had the coil hooked up backwards, would that fry my stator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBAIER1206 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Very simple...get a clymers manual and check a couple of things with an ohm tester...check the stator first as they seem to be the most prone to fail. Then check your pickup coil, then the ignition coil itself. replace the plug cap boots as they are cheap and are also prone to fail...if all is good then it sounds like its gonna be your CDI box. I listed these somewhat in order as to how they "usually" fail. Your bike might be sparking even though you think it isn't. Oh, almost forgot, replace the plugs first before anything else as well as the vent hose off the gas tank, if it's clogged then the bike wont run... I had a friend chase what he thought was an electrical issue and spent almost a grand on replacing everything and to his surprise, his vent hose was clogged! Good luck!

hollisatp Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I just had this happen.. I didn't attach my harness properly back to the frame and it melted to my pipes causing a short. No spark.. I took out a plug and had a friend kick it over to check.. Thought I fried my stator... just a thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt-riceburner Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Pull start it. If it starts, your stator is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POORBOY350 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) my cousin's bike done the same thing. we checked the stator and everything. but there is a lil black box on the frame under the tank. i think its smtn to do with the TORS or whatever that was the problem with his bike we unplugged it........ runs fine now.
