Well,
I had no spark on this bike a year ago. I finally fixed it Jan 2005 - was the source coil (stator), had arced out.
Now it is Oct 2005, No spark again. I checked the stator 1st with my ohm meter, in spec. I checked the ignition coil, within spec. I checked the CDI black box against my spare - Same readings.
Still no spark. So I guess the next step is to find every grounding point on the bike, emery cloth it and dielectric grease it, put back together, and see if spark. I wish I had a new bike. But from reading other threads, newer bikes develop problems as well. No use complaining, huh?
Anything else I should do? I wish I had a spare ignition coil too, part swappin' is an easy way to test parts.
