    Bad coil? Bad cap? Bike won't stay running

    I didn't see any visible signs of that kind of wear. I'm curious if maybe as the screw started coming off if that shorting would damage the electronics if it wasn't able to send a good signal???

    Bad coil? Bad cap? Bike won't stay running

    I Don't think it has anything to do with fuel, you would think a fuel issue would be more obvious and consistent. Like i could only go 1-2 miles or something. My issues have no rhyme or reason it will run great for 20-40 miles then die out, or go for 1 mile and die out.

    Bad coil? Bad cap? Bike won't stay running

    Update- Took the bike out for about 150 miles yesterday ran great except for two little hiccups hoping pamcopete can maybe shed some light on. After riding to the first spot which was about 20 miles away, I let the bike sit for a few hours and when I went to start it, it started and ran for...

    Bad coil? Bad cap? Bike won't stay running

    Ok little update. It is not the vapor lock, as my gasket has a little tear at the gas tank so it's getting plenty of air through there. Now when trying to diagnose the bike I can't get it to run more than 5-10 second to test anything. I tried unhooking the cap and plugging the positive and...

    Bad coil? Bad cap? Bike won't stay running

    Any way to test that to rule it out? I'm assuming if its a bad seal I could take and cover it with my hand right?

    Measuring bearings for a All Balls GSXR fork swap?

    Good luck gentlemen. I did a 06zx6 swap and called all over the place for a tapered bearing system that would work and came up with nothing. I don't know how large in diameter the gsxr steering stem but the zx6 one was way to large to find a tapered bearing that would be small enough to fit into...

    Yeah the diaphram is broken, I had the vacuum line hooked up and was still getting nothing. Just decided to bypass that and run it on the Pri setting.

    Bike dies when given a little throttle...

    Well i think i figured it out. I tested the charging system*an it is putting out 14.3-14.7 volts. so that was A Ok. The petcock on the other hand seemed to not work in the ON position at all but turning it to the PRI setting worked just fine. Went out and rode probably 50 miles and it worked...
