    Both coils bad at the same time?

    I grabbed em off mikesxs, only 5 bucks a pop and they seem pretty good quality for not being actual NGK. The 25mm glass fuses are on there aswell that i need but sadly the 20amp one is out of stock right now.

    Both coils bad at the same time?

    Got spark back, ended up needing to clean points and those new caps. Just in time for it to sit all winter again haha.

    Both coils bad at the same time?

    Im like 90% sure its points, makes it cheaper for me to buy non resistor caps so happy to hear.

    Both coils bad at the same time?

    Also do i really need to get resistor caps for the spark plugs? I dont think i have any electronic ignition stuff on my bike, and someone already has the 5k resistor plugs in it.

    Both coils bad at the same time?

    Tried my other meter and was getting same results. I ended up pulling the spark plug boot off and clipping off like a half inch of wire and now i have a reading so i guess my boots and last bit of wire were corroded. I am getting like 8.7k resistance without the boot but its from both the...

    Both coils bad at the same time?

    Been messing with my bike again recently, still have no spark or signs of power from stator. Was just looking over everything again since its been a while, and noticed that neither of my coils has a resistance reading or any continuity at all on the secondarys. It would be pretty crazy for both...

    Testing stator

    Well i did figure out that 4th white turns into a yellow wire and does indeed go up the the headlight.

    Testing stator

    Traced it today, so ya wires going to the rectifier are 3 white, 1 red, 1 black. I didnt pull the sheathing apart. I dont see the 4th white going to the back or anything thing by the battery box so if its not just like spliced into another white wire somewhere i assume it goes up front and runs...

    Testing stator

    Lol ya, honestly might be best for me to just start pulling it apart to see if all the wires even go to the stator. Even the manual says 3 so i got no idea whats goin on ha.

    Testing stator

    Ok doesn't seem to be grounding out at least. Double checked resistances and getting the same result. Here are the 2 plugs coming from the bottom of the engine area. Im not sure why but my bike definitively got 4 white wires coming out, i dont even have electric start any anything fancy so im...

    Testing stator

    Should be 1978, ill check resistance to ground tomorrow too. Ill grab a picture of the plug too but its the only one going to that spot and has 4 white wires so idk whats up.

    Testing stator

    Actually i had free time today, went and tested the resistance on each wire, the manual i downloaded said 3 but there were 4 in my plug. 3 of them measured .7-.8 to eachother and 1 measured .4 to any other, so i assume its bad and needs replaced. Kinda sucks i didnt even get to run it this year...

    Testing stator

    Anyone at least confirm that i should see my neutral light illuminating when im kick starting it?

    Testing stator

    I believe the stator is bad or has bad connections in my bike. I was trying to chase a no spark issue and when i was trying a different battery i kicked it over just to see and the neutral light is not lighting up even when im kicking it over pretty fast with no spark plugs threaded in. The...

    Tire size for my first bike

    Yeah, asmuch as i wanna atleast put around for fun they are just too sketchy and im to inexperienced. Dont wanna ruin the bike or myself haha.

    Tire size for my first bike

    Hi guys, just bought a 1978 xs400 and ive never bought motorcyle tires before so id like some help. Its got 3.50x18 on both front and back right now but the front is too fat so the dude took the fender off to fit it, Seems like even a small step down and it would fit. Ill attach photos of the...
