    seana as i posted earlier in this thread ...post #4 there are two ignition systems, clearly yours is a mk2 with those readings...you need a new ignition switch as well with the 4 positions

    Damn a hard lesson learned, you have to be so careful with litter and debris in bends, you should rest it a few days but thats alright for me to say!

  7. Greetings Jimmy, crikey you get through your bikes dont you...some great bikes there, always fancied a go of a v-max but it'll never happen
  8. foamy to check the capacitor you will need a multimeter that can measure capacitance, a rarity. however you can check with continuity between the lead and the metal case, ther should be no continuous continuity. I assume the generator doesnt have a battery and runs a magneto type ignition? as far as the ignition coil goes check continuity between ... the cable to the coil and the metal coil mounting, this should be a low reading the plug lead and the metal coil mounting, this should be a high reading 5 thousand ohms (ish)...secondary winding If your capacitor is shorting it will prevent running...if this is the case try disconnecting it to see if you get a spark and if so get a new capacitor aka (condenser) another thing to look for... check the spring of the moving contact isnt touching anything as it's a 'live' part of the system. The moving contact sits on plastic insulating washers to isolate it from chassis
  9. Greetings 'vampiro'

    sort one thing at a time, Engine run/stop with the igniiton key in OFF ...AND...OR the killswitch in OFF, then the black/white should short to chassis or black negative connections unplug the black/white and the black from the CDI and test at the two female loom bullet connectors Here is the main switch pinout

  19. Airhead replied to Unzy's post in a topic in General
    Greetings unzy, first read the other topic from 'columbo' and an intro is always good (New members forum)
  20. Airhead replied to Columbo's post in a topic in General
    yeah thats the way columbo watch and learn, maybe youtube will be useful, ? watch out for any nightschools in your area...ask at bikeshops if they know of anything. like the others have said its a shame were 300 miles apart! . . . . . 'One more thing' I just googled 'youtube adjust motorcycle' and got many offerings...dont ya just love the web
  21. as above a scotchbrite pad is good for light rust, a wire wheel (bench or drill mounted) a scraper for loose flakes, fine emery cloth for tricky nooks and crannies. Jenolite rust remover...for finishing Plastikote BBQ Paint available from Wilkinsons stores and B&Q Theses are are methods I would use but most importantly...keep it clean and clean off the crud regularly after wet riding conditions and remove and paint again when it starts to show signs of rust...dont ignore it exhausts are expensive!
  22. well it flys...what more could you wish for?
