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...

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.

Coilpack resistance

timebombprod

Forum Sage
Should the coilpack resistance also be around 5?

The connections that are behind the coilpack read a single digit number...multimeter screen is bad, the connections that you hook the leads up to however, read about 12 and 13.
 
Okay scratch that video, I got a new mutlitmeter and checked again.


I'm getting readings of 4.7 on the connections that you hook the wires up to on the coilpack, and getting readings withing the range of 12 on the connections that you hook the leads up to.


The reading of 4.7 was on the setting of 200, while the reading of 12 was on the 20000 setting.

Ordered OEM coilpacks as the resistance for the secondary connections should be 30-35 and these were about a third of that number.

With plug caps removed, stick multimeter probes into plug leads of a coil...with meter on 20000 ohm scale , you should see 12 on display meaning 12000 ohms. The 30k to 35 k refers to over the reinstalled plug caps.
your ignition coils are offering same reading as mine.

Oh okay, cancelling that order now. Gonna go back to messing with the ignitor
 
Do you by chance have the tears for the R/R, stator, and ignitor?
?Tears? ??
anyways, reading your other thread with the cracked plug leads , rather than trying to replace plug wires, I?d get a used set of ignition coils that appear decent. Here?s a set off gs1100 that look good to me for $33. and appear to have same connectors.There?s plenty of others

the 650 ignitor is very reliable...the connections are the weak point
 
Long story short its fixed and running again. Gonna do that charging test as I dont want to keep returning my battery every 90 days
