    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...

    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.

Can someone give me a link for a stator, cdi box, and ignitor test? 1980 gs 850 l no spark at all, I don't have a manual. I originally had no spark, did a bunch of tests and then had spark. I thought it was a bad connection but I went through it again and still no spark. Thanks
 
Signal generators rarely fail. If one side did you would still have spark on the other.
 
ok here's where im at.... Kill switch is good, battery is good, I don't have a kick stand switch, fuses are all good. Generator has voltage coming out but that shouldn't affe spark if I have a good battery, correct me if I'm wrong. Ignitor has power to it, pick up coil has 321.3 ohms but idk if that is with in range. Like I said when I had spark bike ran great, parked it and next time I tried to start it I had no spark again. I got link to work by the way

Signal generator has 2 wires one green one blue. When cranking I shouldn't have any kind of voltage on those right? The voltage is supplied to the ignitor and the signal generator is just a magnetic field that collapses when the rotor passes the sensor correct?
 
There is a small electrical pulse that the ignitor picks up to fire.
 
Sure thing I'll just whip out my oscilloscope haha. Thanks for the help

I have measured the wave forms on my 83 gs1100e and recall the DC resistance was a few 100's of ohms. Also the pulse is a dublet going one direction and then other. At cranking speeds it is o-5v range but increases with rpm. Given your 5 position accuracy resistance measurment I would look elsewhere like the link provided. My iPhone opened it up.
 
300ohms is right for the pickup coils - two in series on the 850.
