GTLasesr Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 My shee was running perfect a few weeks ago when I had taken it out. I pulled the kill switch to shut it off, went for lunch came back out and nothing. First thing I did was pull a plug and no spark. Being the last thing I did was pull the kill switch, I re-wired and nothing. Check the whole wiring harness still nothing. Swapped a coil, nothing. Swapped CDI to another "working", as I was told CDI, nothing. Finally check stator and 0 ohms. Swapped to a spare stator I had, which is reading 18 ohms ignition and 92 ohms pick-up, still nothing. I am stuck with nothing else to check. I re-wired the whole harness today and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as I am about to just give up and go pick up a 450, which I really don't want to do but I need to ride this winter with out pulling all my hair out. Quote
T_Shee Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 so now with this stator do you have positive voltage to the coil when you kick it. if your volt gauge does nothing when you hook it to the 2 wires on the coil try grounding the ground lead on the frame somewhere and see if you get voltage to the hot wire for coil (orange i think). if you do at this point then its prolly a pickup problem but if not then its cdi, stator, switch, wiring, etc Quote

Also I have deleted TORS and main switch. What should the volts read when I kick it? The pickup is reading 92 ohms and I believe its suppose to be between 94-140, so it's out of this range by 2 ohms, could this make a difference? Quote

AKheathen Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 do you have another pickup from the other stator? Quote
GTLasesr Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Posted December 15, 2009 do you have another pickup from the other stator? Yes, I still have it. That will be my next attempt this weekend. Quote

volcrano Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Yes, I still have it. That will be my next attempt this weekend. tors and main switch as in key switch??also-when u unplugged the tors did u unplug the brain box on the left side by the exhaust pipe mount on header pipe?not sure if that was the main switch u were talking about or not.if u havent unplugged the brain-do so and check for spark at cap.had this happen to alot of banshees aive been around.keep us informed.

AKheathen Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 also, check where they are bypassed and make sure nothing is touching that shouldn't, and that which is connected is connected good Quote

Bansh-eman Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Start at the stator and work your way to the coil and wires. Set your pickup gap to the thickness of a match booklet cover. I think it is .018? Hell it's been a long time, just use a match booklet and you will be fine. Start testing for power. If your getting everything good, start looking at your grounds. Also make sure that you dont have a bare wire touching your frame grounding out as well. Although the lights and ignition are seperate, with your lights on, do they try and illuminate when you kick the bike over? This wil help to narrow a few things as well. Quote

Lights are wired up directly so they are always on and yes they illuminate a little when I kick it over. I am thinking it's back to the stator or the pickup. If I was to replace with a new stator which should I go with? Quote
