Ok so I have been working on my bike going through the maintenance stuff because I bought it used from a guy that I think didn't maintain it. So it ran and I rode it for a little then put it in the shop to flush everything and change filters, plugs, etc. so I know it ran

I get everything done, threw some NGk iridium plugs in it spaced at about .035 because the old plugs were trashed. Now I don't get spark on any of the wires. I pulled each plug and cranked it over looking for spark on each one. Nothing.

Can someone tell me how can I trace down the problem?

Thanks riders..

 

Look first for the simple things such as the kill switch accidentally being in the wrong position. It sounds dumb but this actually happened to someone on another forum recently when he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start.

At least he logged back on and told everyone what the trouble was.

 

I double checked that just to be sure. I haven't taken anything off the bike wire related or electronically except to pull the battery. I just can't figure it out so if someone has some leads to chase it down I'd appreciate it!

 

I would also check you battery, these bikes hate an undercharged battery.

 

Will check this when I get home

 

also make sure you check all your fuses as well

 

Ok so the problem is fixed and she fired right up. I charged the battery checked all the fuses. The main 30a fuse was blown but I had replaced that and it still didn't start. I checked the coils they were fine. So I traced it all the way back to the ignition module and it tested fine. So I plugged it back in and she fired right up. I don't if unplugging and plugging the ignition module reset something but she runs like a top with fresh plugs, air filter, and fluids. Thanks guys for the help!

On a side note does anyone know what size the 4 air intake ducts are so when I rip out the air box and replace it with cones on the carb I can get the right ones. I believe they are 60mm but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm?

 

I would suggest keeping the factory air box. Without doing other work it won't run right with pods mounted. These bike were good for 170mph with factory air box. You will be chasing jetting issues.

 

The only reason I would want to is to run the exhaust inside up the middle and out the rear tail. Not really looking for a performance boost but I like the look of the exhaust that way and the air box and battery box would need to be removed. I just wasn't sure after all these years if someone had figured out a simple way of adding the pods. I've heard of the jetting issues and what a nightmare they can be and I love the way the bike handles and the weight but I don't care for the exhaust setup. Thanks for tip!

 

A couple of the street fighter guys have done it, but it took them a long time to sort it out. Do a search and you should find some useful information.
