hi guys , i'm having some issues with my gs1000 i recently bought , i took a chance and bought it unseen from photos on ebay , the seller sounded a genuine guy but turns out he was very flattering with its discription and as often is the case it looked much better in the pics , its not that bad but someones stripped it down and had the frame powdercoted then rebuilt with new stainless bolts and thrown away the originals ! i know its not that bad but it bugs me ! worse though is the wiring loom , someones had a real go at it and it has those cheap looking connectors everywhere rather than the correct type plugs etc , amazingly though everything seems to work !
my main problem seems to be a spark issue , when it first arrived i started it up and it did run but very roughly ! not on all cylinders most of the time , ive now found that its down to a spark problem although it must have been intermittent at first as it was coming on all four at times it now seems like ive lost spark to the middle two (2 + 3 ) althogether now ! its the 1000et model that i have so it has electronic ignition , i suspected a coil at first so swapped the feed wires and got spark so i dont have power coming up to coil 2 + 3 , after checking for broken wires etc i then thought the problem either lies in the cdi unit or the pick up coils , i looked into replacements and although both parts are still available the cdi unit was around £450 and the pick up around £200 , the cdi unit looked rather suspect as the metal casing was very rusty and the little circuit board inside looked like it was corroded ! so when i spotted an nos one on ebay with a buy it now of £100 i grabbed it in the hope of a cure , sadly it hasnt helped infact things seem to be worse now with only a very weak spark at one of the plugs but this is the same which ever cdi box is plugged in , im now pointing the finger at the pick up , like a said i can buy a replacement for £200 but i would like to know that this is definately the problem before spending more money ! does this sound like a pick up problem ? do they fail ? is there anything else i can look at that ive over looked ? thanks in advance andy
