ha ha, thought somebody had found a photo of my dog, or my ex wife, both look vaguely familiar...

cheers fella, I took my Z for her Mot and spoke to one of the mechanics at the garage, see what he thought it was, just on the off chance, he bet me a fiver it was the pick up, said he had exactly the same problem with a gpz900 some years ago, the only electrical system in the engine tied up with ignition was the pick up, get warm as the engine gets warm, breaks down and shuts off until engine is cold, I owe a fiver, but I'm well happy, in the meantime, I've had and unplugged every connector, cleaned and degreaser every terminal, took the cdi apart and re soldered every joint, took off and washed the carbs, had new plugs, all looking for the fault, so many jobs jobbed, been a grand voyage of discovery, and something I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for the fault.

It was the stator pick up....runs like a dream now, never crossed my mind.

yep sounds good to me, I'm getting right frustrated now.

Just noticed, while is in it's no spark state, when ignition is first turned on, there is no oil light, just neutral. then when the engine is being turned over via starter motor, the oil light comes on. I'm sure that when I first turned it over earlier on in the evening, to show a buddy what was happening, the oil light was on when I turned the ignition to on. My zed from cold does the same thing, so does my car. Would this make the cdi think there was a fault with the oil switch? Or think there was no oil at all? Clutching straws here.

Me again.... right I still have no joy to report, my cdi is the last of the pre diversion cdi's, and rare as hens teeth, will a cdi from an older xj600 work? the fz600 doesn't as the wiring is slightly different to the plug, I'm looking at getting a cdi from an xj600 from a 51j model, my model is a 3km, seriously, any help would be hugely appreciated, I love riding my xj, and miss her terribly...

ha ha.... Eh?

Sorry fella, I got no idea there.

disconnected the regulator, does the same so cdi is looking like its at fault....bugger.

One bike sorned, even though its taxed and mot'd, the other one needs fixing, so loads of sun, no bike fun for me either... Harrumph!

no worrys fella. All good.

airlock maybe? What I do and everyone is different, I run the engine whilst filling up with coolant, that way the pump pushes the coolant round, fill up when the engine is off and the pump doesn't move, but thats just me. All ways done it, never had any water issues, this includes cars and vans.

I have an 82 z550 and a non running xj600 at the mo, well it runs for 5 mins.... Anyhow, I'd get a third if I had the cash, best time to buy is between November and February, get to march and the bikes almost double in price.

im still non the wiser, regulator is cheaper than a cdi, so because nothing is jumping out, new regulator it will be.

ahh found it, in Yamaha club, Yamaha workshop....carry on.

Well really sorry for my post in the bar, I use an ipad, where is the workshop?

thats right, I hadn't quoted the advanced rider comment, the thread reads " what interests you about biking, biking is my interest as I haven't been passed long

really? And klumes fix?

Was a 40'th birthday present from my missus, all the lessons and test, it was something i knew I enjoyed as a lad, I had a dt50 aswell as a couple of $hitters for the fields, so I went from cbt to full bike in around 3months, was the hardest thing to accumplish mod1 mod2 theory test etc, bag o nerves. Aswell as out riding the district with a headphone in my ear and my instructor barking like a junk yard dog every time I made a modest mistake, great fella by the name of glen at one way, firm, but patient. But let me tell you it was well worth the hassle, there was some good times on my lessons, but I started in jan 2012, so I was also fecking cold and sometimes wet, but I was lucky really, weather was good for feb and march. I really enjoy the elite status of bike rider, I'm not the best, but age experiences keep me having fun, but being careful too. Learning counter steering has been awesome, also big blue sky's and the smell of the countryside is another great thing. Love it.

Charging system running at 14.5v so that's pukka

what is the next step? How did you get over this? Thanks buddy.

it cuts out without sitting on it mate, thanks though.

battery is fine, 12.8v just sitting there and 14v when running. not tried the stator coil or the pick up yet, that is my next point of call, and today's job, many thanks for the advice guy's :thumbup:
