    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Does the ignition coil output affect the engine's perforance?
Weaker spark translates into less power? If so, how can we check the ignition coils' output?
I'm having a '82 1100ez and notice 2 of the extractors are not as hot as the others when warming up the bike. I was advised to get new ignition coils.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
The factory 1100 coils are NOTORIOUSLY weak, especially after almost 30 YEARS! Do the coil relay mod (do a search) & order a set of the 3.0 ohm GREEN Dynatek coils & the gray RESISTOR plug wires from them also. I am a dealer for Dynatek & can help you if needed, I can also build you some more power when you get bored with the anemic stock motor! LOL!!! Ray.
 
Ray,
Can Dyna S pickups be tested... I am having intermittent spark on 1 and 4.I already have the green coils.Trip and I are going to play with it hopefully on Sunday. Sorry to hijack...

You have to measure the voltage at the negative side of the coils. When the ignitor is "ON" the voltage is something like 1.0 V.
IIRC if it is higher it is a symptom of the Dyna going out. Bill (Chef1366 told me the voltages once but I forget).
