Good day all... I have a1979 GS 1000 E. I was riding the other day with my wife , we had gone about 20 miles and the bike started runing on two cyl. I made it back to my house, thank god... When I got home I took out the plugs and found that #2 and #3 cyl were not firing. I had new condenser's so I put them on and there was no change. So i think it is the coils? Each cyl is fed by a diferent coil ##3 right and #2 left. Has this happened to anyone and can you help? Thanks

Check to make sure you have voltage to the coils as it could be a bad connection. The primary side should read 3-5 ohms and the secondary side - plug to plug should read 30k-50k ohms. That's what the manual says for mine and yours shouldn't be too far off those figures. -

Checked voltage 12+ at connections. 5 ohms for each coil. Not sure if i did this right, checked plug wire to plug wire for the left coil #2 and #3 got 105k, the right coil was 36k wire to wire..Comment

On the coil that measured 105K, remove the plug caps (boots) from the coil wires and re-measure; you should then read around 26K.Originally posted by Mitch View Post
if all is well with that resistance measurement, measure the resistance of each plug cap; they should read around 5K each.Comment

Thanks I will go back the the drawing board, i think that the right coil went bad, 2 and 3 have no spark. 1 and 4 have spark . thanks againOriginally posted by Mitch View PostComment
