slim94banshee Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Just to start off, I just joined this forum after many days/weeks of reading here. This forum and all of you have already taught me a lot. Great site and glad to be a part of it. I bought this mostly stock banshee about a month ago. seemed to be in great shape. Fired and ran great from day one. (even with really bad gas in it from previous owner). I got her home and started to go through her a little more. I Installed a new chain and sprocket set, new shift shaft seal along with counter shaft seal, fresh cc oil and gas, new plugs....etc. Bike ran great when I rode for about 2 hours at a friends house to check everything out before going to the dunes. Got to the dunes last week and she fired up cold no choke one kick. Ran good for 1.5 hours and came back to the truck. Bike sat for about an hour and went to kick again and no spark at all. Went through all checks I could up there but nothing at all. Got home and started ohm checking everything. Coil tests bad - no continuity at all wire to wire, even removed plug wires from it and nothing at all. Thought that would be it, but i tested the stator as well and nothing on it green wire to red wire. The other two wires for pickup coil are within range. Seems weird that both parts crapped out at once. I understand its probably age catching up. I have read that stock is the best for both parts. I can see $100 for stock coil, but $4-500 for stator? Not happening this year. I know Ricky stators and RS have bad reputation. Electrosport is reasonably priced. Any thoughts? Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 I'm going to go with a stuck TORS switch...if it has it still. Unplug boxes on top of carbs and the brain box under the left front (3 wire black box) Happened to me once, exact same thing at the dunes many years ago. Quote
blowit Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 I think that is a rarity. I would check your meter and testing methods first. As well, for a quick test on the stator source coil, you can go steal a 5-10w bulb from your kids night light and hook to red and green wires from stator. Should light when kicking. Coils are known to have termination issues right at coil. remove the plastic clip at the coil, pull both wires straight out and test the pins in the coil. Then cut about 1/8" off wires to get a nice new termination. Don't break the plastic clip. Secondary is plug wire to plug wire. Brandon Mull Engineering Quote
