northshoremb Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) I removed the TORS wiring , lights, and the switch for the on/off and also the key. I looked in the Clymer manual and it shows most are open circuit so there should be no prob. I tried starting it and have no spark now. I followed the manual and tested the resistance between the to prongs on the coil and its ok but when I test from the neg. prong to either end of the cap I get nothing so I though it was the wires or caps but tested the caps and they are ok and when I go from one cap to the other I get resistance. How can I get resistance from one plug cap to the other but no resistance from the ground prong to the caps?????????? Edited June 18, 2005 by northshoremb Quote
D_Banshee_Man Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Try removing the parking brake wires. I had the same problem and it worked for me. Also there is a switch on your thumb throttle. Try disconnecting that too. Just disconnect the harness. Dont cut any wires. Quote
northshoremb Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 Is still can't see any present spark so I decided to kick it over and every 4-5 kicks it attempts to fire for a sec and thats it untill 5 more kicks. So I guess it is getting some spark but only on occasion. Any thoughts. Could the coil be bad or the CDI? Quote
northshoremb Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 If I'm not using the TORS do I still need the unit (follow link and its part #16 Control unit http://ronnies.onlinemicrofiche.com/Yamaha...ype=13&A=2&B=38 Cause now I've been trying to kick it over and won't even attempt to fire. Does anyone think it could be the coil?? There is resistance from the to prongs and resistance from one spark cap through the other but no resistance when I go form the one prong to either cap? Quote
SANDSTAR Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Take the tors control box and toss it in the trash. Once thats gone, you should have no overide functioning anywhere. Try not to cut wires, as you might cut the wrong one. As for the on-off and key, you might want to put them back on and see if that starts your bike. Quote
northshoremb Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 I have all the override wires disconected and have a twist throttle so all the TORS SH1T is removed Quote
