trigg Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 i have just rebuilt my shee over the last couple of months but on taking it out at the weekend the thing just cut out dead as if someone had pulled the kill switch. iit done it as i landed a jump mostly but i think it was just coincidence . the loom is new and has checked out perfect the only thing is the coil was touching the pt hi revs not a lot just the corner of it. what i'm thinking is that the coil is getting to hot and when i land a jump it's shorting out inside what do you lot think trigg Quote
SDD Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Sounds more like a loose wire to me... Quote

neilgf Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Try mounting the coil on the other side of the bar for more clearance. Coil must be relocated. Unplug Orange (+) and Black (-) and unbolt coil. Coil needs to be mounted in same location, but on top of existing frame mount. File paint off top side of mount where coil will touch. (This is required to ensure a proper ground. Reinstall mounting bolts and reattach wires. Hope this helps Quote

BenBB Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I've never had a coil fail, but a high-speed miss is often a symptom of a failing coil. My CDI went out once and it was exactly as you described; died like someone hit the kill switch and it never ran again until I replaced it. I also had the stator fail from a broken solder joint, it started to run rough and then also died similarly. That's not to say that your coil isn't toast, just what I've seen happen on mine. The easiest way to test the coil is to have a shop bench test it, if that checks out it still may be bad (as with anything electrical sometimes the problem is intermittant and not easy to duplicate the exact conditions of failure). I forget Trigg, are you running an RZ motor? Quote
trigg Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 yeah you are right i run the rz motor, the thing is after about 10 mins the thing will fire up the only thing i have really changed is the wiring loom and a shorter exhaust bracket on the right hand expansion chamber. i know the loom is fine becaused i have checked it to many times and to be honest that is my day job. i'm going to build it back up tonight and let it run an see what happens i am going to have to find somewhere i can take it and hit a jump quiet hard Quote
