[QUOTE="jazzjourneyman, post: 1359156, member: 108748"] Hello nmilne... Thanks for the reply! Yes.. I will check wiring more closely. Yesterday, I had the bike running and moved/shook/pulled [gently] every wire I could find trying to get it to quit, and thereby find a short, or a poorly grounded wire. No luck. Because the bike runs longest [about 5 minutes] when started from a dead cold start - then runs for less than a minute after cooling down a bit but still warm, I am thinking this problem is likely heat related. Wires that are close to heat sources could move just enough to cause a short I suppose. Hmmmm.... My instincts tell me this is a wiring short as you suggested - or a grounding problem. What I am trying to avoid is blindly replacing stator, CDI and ignition coil if those components are not the cause of the problem. So after checking wiring, I need to find ways to check these components. Testing the ignition coil looks pretty straightforward. I'll do that. Can anyone tell me if the ignition wire from coil to plug can be replaced if that's the problem in an otherwise working coil. Plus, can the ignition coil measurements be taken while mounted in place, or must it be removed first? I'd like to find a way to measure the output of the stator. With the plug out and the bike leaned on kickstand, I can turn the engine over readily with a hand on rear wheel. What output should I expect from the stator, and where can I measure this voltage? Cheers... DT :think: [/QUOTE]
