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.
This makes no sense.
Getting close to 12 volts at the coils? Verify this, then try to test the signal generator + ignitor. Here is a simple test for the overall ignition:
Take your test light and probe it into the non orange/white wire (the ground wire) at the coil connector while plugged in. I was able to put it into the back side of the connector so as not to damage insulation. Clip the wire of the light to a good ground. Turn your key on. Turn your engine by hand, bump the starter or flick a small screwdriver past the pick-up. If the light comes on your wiring is good, sig. gen and ignitor doing their job. Do this for both coil connectors. If good on both sides your ignition is working properly and there is something up with coils/plugs/wires. Clean off any corrosion on plug, plug cap and check that the end of the wire is not corroded as well.

When I remove the battery box I unpluged the ignitor and when I put it back together I did not plug it back in. DUH
. Bikes running great now.
