    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

I hope you have visited Basscliff's and read the stuff to test a no start problem- it's much cheaper than replacing everything related to the ignition system. What year?
 
Hey mate, you've gotta go through the tests in the manual. The Clymer's ok for that, the Haynes I think is lacking a little.

In a nutshell:

- Test the signal generator at the coils and the plug
- Test the primaries on the coils
- Test the secondaries on the coils
- Check the plug caps to make sure they're good
- Test the ignitor
- Check your voltages at the coils and at other spots

If the ignitor you just bought is second hand, good chance it's knackered too.

The Dynatek DS3-3C will actually fit our bikes if you're keen (although it's not officially supported just yet), you just need to run one separate wire for the oil pressure switch...
 
Forgot to say...

To test the plugs and coils, disconnect the ignitor and signal generator, then using the pins on the harness side of the ignitor plug, flick the coil negative wires to ground to see if that fires a spark.

Should be a white wire and a black with yellow tracer from memory but best to confirm from the wiring diagram.

This will at least help you narrow it down and I found it a very helpful test...
