Yeah, thanks for posting that one, looks like I just missed it.
I found some places that had new ones but they are $75 or so, which just seems expensive. But I guess I might have to bite the bullet...
I managed to tip the bike over in the drive way yesterday :bang head:...
Everything survived just fine except for my foot shifter lever. I am having a hard time finding one on ebay or just about anywhere. Ebay has LOTS of shift levers for sport bikes that I like the looks of alot but have no...
I ordered it on 2-6 and got it on 2-10. I ordered some new brake levers on ebay at the same time and the exactrep stuff got here before the brake levers did. I was really surprised at how fast it was.
it was about $67 (us) for shipping.
I would also like to know the resolution to this problem as my bike does that exact same thing (2003).
I live in florida and if I ride in the middle of the day and stop at a stop light my bike will heat up right to the red line but not into the red.
Now, while cruising, it cools back...
Testing for voltage on the orange and black wires on the other connector (left connector) results in NO voltage at all while cranking on either wire.
I'll order up the pickup coil on Monday.
I really appreciate you guiding me through all this. This is my first bike and the biggest...
Im testing orange and black wires that goes to the connector that is in the right of these photos. One of them is a little blurry, and the other picture the flash makes some of the wires look the wrong color, but I think you get the idea.
Is that the correct connector or should I be testing...
Also,
I tried to measure voltage right off the pickup coil (just past the connector under the seat) With the multimeter grounded to the negative side of the battery and the postive side of the multimeter probed to the orange wire there is never any voltage while cranking or other wise...
With the positive side of the Multimeter pluged into the orange wire on the ignitor, and the negative side of the Multimeter grounded on the negative side of the battery, there is a constant 12 volts with the bike on. There is also a constant 12 volts while cranking the bike...
The diode checks out fine.
When checking voltage on the orange wire going into the ignitor, it is a constant 12 volts when the bike is on, or when the bike is cranking. It never changes, it is always 12 volts.
When checking voltage to the coils on the colored wires it is a constant 12...
Sounds good.
When I test the pickup coil side I get infinite resistance. The meter does not even move. I live in Florida so its about 90 degrees at 8am in the morning this time of year :biglaugh:
That sounds like my problem, but before I go and buy a new one i'll check for 12 volts when...
Update:
So so far the side stand switch has checked out,
I'm getting 12 volts to the ignitor,
I'm getting 12 volts to each coil.
I rechecked the pickup coil wires again today.

I know this is a stupid question...
Its been raining here every day, today it rained almost all day so I was not able to make much progress. Inbetween rain showers I was able to check a few things:
I was able to check that I was getting 12 volts via the red/black wire on the CDI/TCI?/Ignitor.
I am also getting 12 volts to...
