[QUOTE="jazzjourneyman, post: 1360926, member: 108748"] Problem SOLVED! Thanks to everyone for the advice - especially reepicheep for the detailed explanation. As I mentioned at the outset, I purchased this bike and started having problems the following day. I called the previous owner to see if he'd had any stator problems, and he indicated he had the stator [whole unit] replaced two months prior, and gave me number of mechanic. I learned that a Moose Engineering stator was installed, and it had a one year warranty. Electrosport is the manufacturer, and they agreed to send me a new one. Cool! Except they sent the wrong last week, and the correct one this week. I installed it today - and it started right up. Yeeha! FYI I learned along the way that a good source coil [generates voltage going to CDI] will pump out about 20 volts AC when bike is kicked - measured between red/white and black [ground]. My original stator generated only 3.6v AC, then died completely. In any event, now I know how to check a stator other than the static ohms test. BUT..... Today, when I tried to start the bike, I could not find neutral... finally did, and bike would not shift out of first.... then got stuck in second... then finally acted if it was terminally in neutral - had to push it back from the woods... arrrrrgh [but at least it was running great :P I've read that KDX engines are bulletproof - and I've read that you shouldn't buy a KDX if you don't like working on them. I am leaning toward the latter. And I know... buy used and you get what you pay for... but damn... I want to ride this thing!!!! DT [/QUOTE]
