    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.

Any help is appreciated. The coils are good. What do I look at nexts? Thanks
 
If you switched the coils to eliminate a bad coil, it is the crank trigger/ignition plate. I have them if you need or Dyna Ss also if you want to upgrade.

Have you checked the plug caps?


Are 2&3 okay?


when you say cylinder not firing, do you mean spark plug not sparking .... or do you mean no combustion in the cylinder....?

The spark plug has no spark. I switched the coils, and both are working.
 
Yes, I?ve swapped coils, checked wires & caps. Still no spark on 1&4. I have no experience working on Suzuki. I just pulled the bike out of my neighbors garage. He bought it new and only has 34K on it. It?s been maintained by a dealer and is in fairly good shape. I rode it home on 2 cylinders ( just 2 Miles). I don?t want to spend a bunch of money on it. With that being said , I think I would rather replace with stock crank trigger ignition plate.
 
I assume this is a factory electronic ignition if so the trigger pulsar things have a coil resistance check. it should bein the manual

section 11-3 of the oem manual
BL-G WIRES 250 TO 360 Ohms.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but is this what Suzuki calls the signal generator assembly? I?m not wanting to upgrade. Just wanting to get it running well so I can turn it. What do you have to have for your trigger/ignition plate? Thanks
BTW sorry for the delayed response. I haven?t had much time to work on it. I do appreciate your help.
 
How much would you have to have for your used pickups/pulsars? I would be interested. Thanks
