    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.

No fire at all. 1981 GS650

pulled the spark plugs and grounded the threads to the frame and no spark on turnover. electrically it has a used igniter, used RR, used coils, and a NEW wiring harness to counter the pinch of death. going to check the voltage to the coils later, but aside from that, what controls the spark on these bikes that i need to replace. it's not my daily so theres no emergency.
 
Signal generator under the right side engine cover can cause problems, but it sounds more like you're shotguning instead of troubleshooting. Have you acquired a wiring diagram for your bike? If not then go here to pick one up.

Then go here to get a whole lot more information.
 
Why so many new-to- you ignition parts? Did you keep the old stuff? The bike might miss them.

because i pulled it out of a junkyard. every connector was rotten and everything that could be rusted was rusted. i know for a fact it's an electrical issue, because everything else is brand new.
 
it's shaft driven, and i bought the ignitor based off the VIN
