rileyrs Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 so i was having problems with the shee dying at lower rpms, it slowly got worse and worse, and then finally it just wouldnt run at all. i though it was a carb problem, but turned out, i have no spark at all anymore. brought it to a local guy i know, he tested the stator and said it was fine, so thats in the clear, i borrowed a functional coil from a friend and put it on, and still no spark. so does this leave out only the cdi? or is there anything else that it could be? i checked all connections and everything seems fine. if anyone knows of something else to check out, it would be great. id hate to buy a new cdi, and then find out it was something cheaper. so any help would be appreciated.

No Limit Powersports Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Not necessarily it could be wiring, tors(if its still hooked up), and i have seen stators bench test ok and be bad and vice versa. If you have a buddy with a bike try his cdi first thats an easy check then his stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileyrs Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 tors is gone. i dont know anyone with the cdi for this bike, since mines a 87, everyone i know has newer bike, so im not sure what to try. wiring seems to be ok, i checked all connections and grounds. if i do buy a new cdi, should i get one from ricky stator for 125, or ebay for around 70-80, or is there a cheaper alternative for a used one? maybe someone on here selling theirs?

No Limit Powersports Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I would probably would try to avoid rs if i could. Picking up a good used one is always a gamble cause it may not work but oem is the best bet. Also might consider a dyna ignition they are not as cheap but work pretty well and are programmable.

rileyrs Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 i found a used one, stock part, for 80 shipped, guaranteed to work, or my money back. sound like a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileyrs Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 well im still stuck with no spark. as said before, stator tested good twice. its got a new cdi, new coil, new plugs. just pulled flywheel, pickup coil and flywheel look ok. all wiring looks good, and all conectors plugged in? why doesnt my banshee have spark??? any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 do your lights come on like normal when you kick it with the switch on? no melting on the exhaust? good ground on the stator? pickup gap set good? keyswitch working?

rileyrs Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 never thought about the lights, ill check tomorow, i guess that would have been an easy way to rule stuff out. no melting, good grounds, all switches are good, pickup coil gap seems good.

rileyrs Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 never thought about the lights, ill check tomorow, i guess that would have been an easy way to rule stuff out. no melting, good grounds, all switches are good, pickup coil gap seems good. just threw the flywheel back on, and turned the lights on and kicked, and nothin, so signs of any power to the lights. so does that mean im loosing power somewhere in the wiring? if so i guess ill bust out the ohmmeter and start checking my wiring harness.

BlasterKX Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 well was going to say check your woodruf key on ur flywheel but you had it off and put it on.(buddy of mine baught a shee for a 1,000 bucks do to no spark and thats what was wrong with it). spark plug boots? sounds like the stator to me man if your gap is good and ur cdi is good. how the 2 connectors look to the coil? had a wire break away from the coil and just re crimpped a new connector and i was riding again. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileyrs Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 plug boots are good since they came with the new coil. ends on the wires to the coil are good, i just replaced them in case. i guess i will test the stator again, and make sure my wiring is good. thanks for the replies.

AKheathen Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 actually, if it ohms out on the yellow and black wires from the stator, and your lichting circuits are good, then it sounds like you have a bad flywheel.....if you have a testlight with a regular bulb, you can hook it to the red and green wires and it will put out bright power to the testight when you kick it. what does the red/white and green/white read?

BlasterKX Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 could be bad flywheel also. buddy had a bad one on his blaster he chased for awhile. didnt think they go out to often though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileyrs Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 forgive me if this is a dumb question, but i thought flywheels generally didn't go bad unless they were dropped or something like that? or is there something that can go wrong with their magnetic ability to generate power with the stator?

AKheathen Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 actually yah, they can just go bad....even some deto or misfire can shock the magnets loose. they are just glued to the outter cage with an inner thin sheet metal sleve to cover them, or the other way around......
