ignition

Short history. 88, igeatech, cop's, drilled exhaust. Been battling an intermittent ignition drop on rear 2 cyl for some time now. Replace cdi with ignatech and have had it happen twice since. Purchased a used wiring harness last week to go through to install. Would there be any advantage to...

Hello all, First time poster here, just recently bought a 2000 Vmax with 10,000 miles it is sputtering/popping and shutting off at low throttle I have to turn the key off then back on for it to start, without turning the key off when it shuts off it will crank but just pop and sputter will...

Okay, so never having owned or rode a V-Max before I did some research first... My understanding is that when you turn on the ignition -- turn the key on -- that you should hear the servo cycle...with a clear whining sound... What I am hearing is not that sound.... Sometimes it clicks...

I did a complete COPs conversion on my bike. I used a wire harness and COPs from a 2003 R6 and wired it all in myself. Worked all day on that and replacing a rear valve cover gasket. The gasket sprung a leak, so had to remove it again and re-seal and re-install it (that sucked). Other minor...

So starting yesterday i have been having ignition issues. When cold and charges the bike will start up, and will run for about 5 minutes, and then die. While running the bike is at 13.2, and when revved up it drops to 13.0 and holds until i left off. After dying the battery is down to 12.4. I...

Anyone knows what I can do to stop this. Bigger fuse or any upgrades. I have the COPs kit and the dyna 3000 cdi..

Zilla has had this goofy quirk for a while now. Bike starts instantly. Runs fine. However when doing a cold start, and start riding, the bike cuts out just for a fraction of a second when you let off the gas, pull in the clutch, or hit a bump. After about 1/4 mile, it stops, and the bike works...

Hi all, I have an '89 V-MAX and in the last 6 months the VBoost check when turning the ignition on has become intermittent... There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason; initially it appeared to be linked to ambient temperature i.e. if it was a hot day it went through the self diagnostic...

Alright gurus out there, battery connection tight, tach was bouching around here and there, today while riding lost tach and running like crap, just installed COP'S, and a new voltage regulator and wired that directly, was running good before and after install?? Battery is at 12.7 off and 13's...

2003 Vmax I had the coils raised yesterday to access the battery, and noticed what looks like a crack in the plastic covering of each coil. Bike is running fine. Anything to worry about??

Hey y'all. I've been gone a while travelling from my residence in Hungary to Mississippi, Athens, Greece, now back in Hungary. I'm scheduled to return to Mississippi soon again. I received (but not installed yet) a new air filter. I took the advice to not get a jet kit. I'll just leave my...

In the seemingly never ending search for my randomly lost cylinder the only place left to look was the ignition module. Thankfully I'm pretty sure I found the problem. As you can see in the pictures, there were corroded components beyond reconditioning. I lightly scraped the worst one with a...

Went on a 200m ride with a friend( he also has a Max but is not on the forum). Got home, shut off the bike and then tried to restart. No joy!!! No Lights either. Played with the switch and lights:biglaugh: So I know it's the switch. found repair info using the search function. Now just a...

Hi all, Just got my 1991 all fixed up and running great.... then my ignition switch just broke. It will only work if I turn the key then turn it backwards a bit. But if the key moves slightly forward it goes off again. I feel like there is a contact issue inside the switch. I am concerned...

Would like to find out info on the Ignitech Ignition. The Cost, is it a plug and play unit or is prior programing necessary, what is needed to install, are changes to stock wiring needed, etc. Can't find a web site with solid info on the unit.

Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while cause I been too busy riding :biglaugh:. But now I have a new issue forming on my '90. Lately as I've been riding, I've noticed that at around 4,000 rpm during cruising speed, the bike will start breaking back. Feels like it's dropping 1 or even 2...
