Well I would check for a loose stator plate (behind flywheel) being it was back fireing it may be loose and now way out of time,should be on center mark of the 3 marks.If your getting some kind of reading I doubt its the igniter because that is go,no-go type of thing.Heres what my book list for readings,primary coil-.26-.36 ohms,secondary2.6-3.6 ohms.Stator BLK/WHT toBLK/YEL 153-230ohms,WHT/RD to BLK/YEL 7.9-11.9 ohms.You should get a manuel,if you cant find one for the newer 500 the book for the '93 on down will help you with almost every thing on your newer bike,hope this helps.


d**n, I'm confused. My book is saying this about the stator:

Disconnect the Stator from CDI and what have you.

Black/Red to Black/Yellow --- should be 432-648 ohms
White/Red to White/Green --- should be 4.0-6.0 ohms

wierd! Try both. Tha twill insure the stator.

fallow mikesmith's instruction. Use an ohm meter and test the connections of the stator fallowing his wire COLOR codes. If you don't feel comfortable, I'd just take it in and get it tested.

That's what I would have thought. :-) I'm glad you got it fixed. It is something you have to have a special tool to get.

Glad it's running again, I thought a bad coil was kinda wierd.

I bet they did NOT tighten the nut on the flywheel. Use red locktite.

The flywheel had some small dings in the tapper. Not to deep.
My guess just by looking at it, that there somewhere around .002 deep.
I'm going to keep the old flywheel, and machine it on the wire EDM.
I will just do a skim cutt at first, till all the dings are out. Maybe .0005
at a time.
Then cut the keyseat a bit deeper too.
And make a new key too!

What do I have to lose. they were going to toss it....

Machine,

I work on 2-stroke outboards for a living and I belive the same thoery may apply to the ignition system.

To check the stator output going to the cdi and then from the cdi to the coil you will need a peak reading volt meter. I use an peaking adapter for my Fluke multi meter. Maybe your dealer could let you use one for your trouble shooting. The peak reading volt meter or adapter will allow you to read the peaks of the voltage track(I guess you can say it averages the peaks) When you got those wired readings from the cdi or coil I think it might be because of not using the peak reading meter. I may be wrong but I hope this helps.
