coil

This sounds like a noob question but what does the pulsar coil pickup have anything to do with the charging system or only control spark/ignition?.. I still have to do the R1 R/R upgrade yet..I replaced the stator and R/R from Rick's Motorsports still only charging at 12.7V-13.2V @ 4000rpm plus...

Hi, I suspect right back ignition coil does not work properly after running engine for a while. This spark plug is black. Carburetors are cleaned and syncronized. The original coils are quite expensive. So does anyone know, if there is an alternative cheaper coil available that meets the...

Hey there! Just picked up an '88 Vmax that was inop. No back history, got it cheap from an auction for a project. Anyway, put a new battery in and am trying to get it running. Found really old, nasty gas and have drained the tank and cleaned it out. Will be pulling the carbs and cleaning them...

Greetings all. I'm new to the V-Max land but have a decent history with other bikes. Just got a. '85 VMX12, and am having a bit of an issue. The bike took 24 hours of Marvels Mystery Oil to free up the pistons, no big deal. Turns over well but looks like I am missing fire on the #2 (front...

Still no spark,just tested my pickup coil.The reading bounses arround,then settles down at 99.7 ohms.also tested my neutral switch,i don't get any reading in or out of gear but the light works.If i put the run switch to on,then turn the key on and off i do get a spark and a backfire.Any advice...

My pick up coil tests bad when warm. Has anyone used one from regulatorrectifier.com ($129.99) or anywhere else that is cheaper than OEM ($347) and has had good long term results?

Hey guys.... I have 4 coils from my 98 Vmax, all ohm out to factory spec. The two that were under the seat have the typical cracks that as I understand it don't affect performance. The two that were under tach have no cracks. I'd like to get $80 for the four coils, shipped free via USPS to...

For a number of reasons I sold my 88 VMax a few months ago and discovered I had a brand new set of COPS that I completely forgot about. I think they were around $120 new so I will sell for $85 firm. I don't have the instructions that were sent with them but I am sure someone here can walk you...

hi all and hello first post one here i need a coil igniter sensor is the singal sensor model :bang head:

Hey all, first post here, be gentle :biglaugh: Great place you got, been finding lots of usefull info. Got me a 1988 max to restore - while buying it noticed right exhaust way too colder than the left, and the v4 was working quite irregularly. Right exhaust seemed to spew petrol and you could...

The rears were easy, the front?? Wow. So, has anyone tackled the fronts? It appears the best way to get to them is to remove the radiator and the coolant cap thingy and the plastic cover. Removing the air box does nothing. I want to install the COPS, but would rather remove the redundant...

Hello men! I'm new to the forum and bought my Vmax in November. I only managed to put 300 miles on it before I took it apart to do some Winter restoration. It's a 2004 with 5,900 miles on it. It ran great after I replaced some bad gas. After getting it stripped down about half way, I noticed...

I tossed mine during the move, but I want to mount an aux fuse block to clean some stuff up, get the starter solenoid right, and get the wires under the seat organized. Let me know if you've got one (preferably with the rubber thing for the starter solenoid). Thanks, guys.

Has anyone used one of these- also is it a misprint or is there a reason he did not include '85 model? http://www.ebay.com/itm/221331354348?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Tore the old Venture completely apart. Install the Ignitech on top of the now empty coil rack. Perfect fit between mounting ears. Made conversion wired for coils. Set the box for short dwell and one revolution before spark. Fired it over and runs pretty nice. Box is set for you Vmax guys. Have...

Looking for some insight on a recent problem. Yesterday I had cylinder 1 issues. I hear some misfire and can feel lack of performance and when I feel the side of cylinders #1 feels cooler then the rest. Going to check my primary and secondary coil numbers to see if coils good, and if it is any...

I wanted to change the spark plug wires and caps on my 1994 and while the back as easy, the front are a pain. I'm attempting to remove or at lease slide the electronics tray enough to access the coils but I can only pull it out so far. Any tips or hints would be helpful. :bang head: Doug

It appears the original Yamaha service manual is wrong about using the orange wire as the common wire for testing the two p/u coil models '85 - '89 (as mentioned by Maleko in a post many moons ago). The black wire is the common. I'm always reluctant to say the manual is wrong but they also...
