XS650 Addict
I have done some research on this forum and the internet and can't quite seem to find the answer I am looking for. I have a 1982 XS650 Heritage special, when I purchased it didn't run. I have put in a fresh battery, plugs, rebuild the carbs, checked cam chain, valves, cleaned the stator and stator rotor. Yesterday I was out riding and bike was doing great and running strong. I stopped to run in the store and when I came out the bike wouldn't start. I got it home, threw it on the tender and let it sit over night. This morning, still no start, I pulled the plugs and no spark on either plug.
Can someone explain to me the ignition system on a 1982 model? From what I can see its a TCI ignitions system, is that just the black box under my battery box? Iver read alot of people mentioning if that is the issue to throw out the whole system and start from scratch. Other than checking coils, wires, is there any other way to narrow it down to that little black box being the issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated and I apolgize in advance if this post is redundant, I am new to the xs 650 and just trying to understand.
