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.Hi Huff assume you called someone in to have a look at it, nice to hear that you got it going. stay safe.

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.Have you thought of having one of these mobile electrical motor engineers have a look at your bike? I know it's not the done thing to admit defeat but my son's car had an intermitant fault on one of the ign modules and I finally threw in the towel and called one of these guys out, cost me £30 and he fixed it in about 25 minutes, had my head under the bonnet for a day and a half!! It might save you money in the long run as just changing stuff till you get it right is time consuming and expensive. Just an idea you understand but these guys come with state of the art kit and you get to learn stuff from them that comes in handy later.

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?one owners view;-
actually a nicer bike to ride than the later xj600 in some ways imo and I like the old school look of the upright cylinders
there is a comment above somewhere about them looking dates, that's true as its an 80's bike but again I like that type of thing,
weirdly it reminds me of Joe 90, Thunderbirds and even early Strar Trek around the back light on that last one mostly but then I'm a bit sad.
-
Sorry fella, I got no idea there.
-
disconnected the regulator, does the same so cdi is looking like its at fault....bugger.im still non the wiser, regulator is cheaper than a cdi, so because nothing is jumping out, new regulator it will be.
-
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.hey huff no offence

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.Hello, so today i scruved all bolts in and closed all cases, puted in kick start mehansim and waitting for kick leaver. So i pluged all hoses in and filled in oil in clutch case and cooling liquid, "Tosol" in cooling tank.
And I pushed my bike manually up, it started. So i reguled carb and all things that seemed not finished, and after a minute i noticed, than "red indicator" on speedo is shining, "water temp. symbol" or something like that (pic - http://static4.depositphotos.com/1030387/400/v/950/depositphotos_4001512-Water-Temperature-Crystal-Icon.jpg ).
So i stopped engine, and tested with my hand - all engine was heated up - cilinder, clutch case, flywheel case - all ...
P.s. after first i noticed that on speedo, i chechked cooling tank, and it was emty so i fill another dose of liquid - but it still is heating up.
What i have done wrong? Or thats normal after i spill all oil and cooling liquid out from engine? How to make it go normally?
HELP! Dont want to heat it up till it break, and summer is comming, I want to ride!!!!

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.really? And klumes fix?
-
ahh found it, in Yamaha club, Yamaha workshop....carry on.If its the same as the iPhone, you need to go back to the home page, then scroll all the way down to the bottom
-
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 longYou are talking about your original bike test here I think,
-
really? And klumes fix?New voltage regulator.If money is tight check out klumes fix using another regulator

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.Hi mate...
I have had a mate with the same problem although on Kawasaki...It was the charging system.....It was over charging which was causing the cdi to cut out....
-
it cuts out without sitting on it mate, thanks though.Just a thought, but mine had a similar fault, would run lovely for a few miles BUT as soon as I opened it up it would start to misfire then slowly get worse and worse till it ground to a halt, even called out the AA on the last mission and he failed to come up with anything that might be wrong UNTIL I really looked at the bike and noticed that the fuel line was trapped between the tank and the seat, I felt a right pillock!!
had just been squashing the fuel line every time I sat on it. Check it's not something stupid before you buy expensive bits you don't need. As I say just a thought. Hope you get it sorted. -
battery is fine, 12.8v just sitting there and 14v when running.couldn't possibly be the battery could it - just that I had similar issues with mine and it turned out to be a duff battery even though it was months old.
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:I'd have thought coils too but youve proved them to be ok...including all the coils in the engine and the HT coils?
-
As title suggest, from cold, it starts on the button, runs with choke on for a couple of minutes, turn choke off, runs smooth for the best part of 5-10 mins, then without warning, no splutter or cough, it stops, then refuses to start- no spark.
Wait until it gets cold, then, it starts on the the button, runs with choke for a couple of minutes, turn choke off, runs smooth for the best part of 5-10 mins, then without warning..... Repeat until you get the idea, immerse yourself in gloom. I've checked the connections, cleaned etc, checked me voltages, all gravy, and with the coils in a warm state, checked for continuity, again all good, my finger is pointing toward the cdi unit, tid14-78a 3km-01, but, due to some incredible prices, I'm begging for it not to be, the solder on the cdi looks good, there is no darkened patches on the board, or popped caps,nothing looks out of place. Yet due to the nature of the repeated cut out at near on exact times, I'm just not sure, seems like something is getting warm as the engine also is getting warm from cold, and is toasty after ten mins of running, that's why I checked the coils for continuity when they were warm. Rectifier bares no relevance as the bike can run when the rectifier is plugged in or not.
Now this has been the problem since, for no reason, it backfired whilst riding around 25-30mph, then it lost power very briefly whilst nipping round a slower vehicle, revs dropped off, then went back up again, and it's cut out a couple of times when I've been riding and stopped, sitting in neutral. But now it won't re-start at all, all since it back fired. Was a reliable bike before the back fire. Any help from the wise would be most appreciated, money is an issue as I'm down to a 3 day week... It Never rains.

Hello, my name is andy, I have a 92 pre diversion xj600, it's in not bad condition, been a really great ride, until recently, see you in the technical area....
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...
