I have an 85 v-max. My dad was the original owner from 85, so needless to say I know the bikes history. My dad stopped riding the bike for a few years and I've decided to start riding it. It wasn't running right so I started tracking problems down. The problem started as not sparking the rear cylinders until 3000 rpm. have the original factory service manual. All ignition coils check out o.k. but the pick-up coils at the crank were way out of range. I replaced them with factory new coils. No luck. I replaced the ignitor box with a brand new dyna 3000. No luck. I replaced the battery. No luck. I rechecked resistance through the new coils. The check out as out of range. Three coils are at 230 ohms, one coil is in range at 110 ohms. Could I have bad pick-up coils again? Should I spend anouther $380.00 to find out? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
