    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Lost three cylinders.

Try changing the plugs before you buy anything else...it may make all the difference in the world. Most of the time it's the simple stuff....unless it's making a loud clanking or banging noise...THEN you're in trouble...

Okie dokie, got the plugs.

All 4 are firing for now. I'm going to the parts store to get a relay for the coils.

I did test the charging system though, I connected my tester to the batt. connector at the solenoid while the bike was running and got 12v instead of 14.5v. Crap.

Well, I guess I gotta got to the stator papers.

I really appreciate all the help guys. It may have only been the plugs, but it helped me conclude that I need to get a dyna kit to cut-off any future problems and voltage shortages I have now.
 
Sounds to me like your battery got low and the plugs were marginal, no need to go and replace the normally reliable ignition system. Regulator is another matter though; ditch the stock one and get something better. I’m using a late model Honda R/R off a CBR, several other members here are using similar or the older Honda style R/R with the sense wire. Tons of info in the archives on this subject.
