    Re-Installing Rotor?

    Hello All, Jim rebuilt my rotor, it looks brand new and measures perfect ohms, (definitely the way to go! Thanks, Jim!) and I do not believe I'm getting it all the way on. My evidence is that the stator won't go on all the way. I looked real close with a flashlight and I can see probably a mm...

    Charging System Component ID (83 Heritage Spec - STOCK)

    Hello Community, Could I get names of the parts in the pictures? It's not charging and it fails the slap test, (by the way so does my 2004 Honda Shadow - is that completely different?) so I need to start troubleshooting but I'm not sure what's what. Also, regarding the awesome write up by Jim...

    Not charging

    Hello, 83 Heritage Special, stock Kind of out of no where I have lost electrical features like starter, lights, etc. I read a lot of the threads but I have a question: will it make it 12 miles home? Probably way easier to have someone get me from work and leave it here if it's questionable...

    And/or spent chain? All of a sudden I’m gettting a rrr rrr rrr feel-it-in-the-foot pegs on decel/coasting It’s audible and sounds like “chain lash” which is a term I made up I think but hopefully conveys. Like the chain is all of a sudden rubbing on something Pulls strong going fast and accel

    Awesome, thank you one spark plug cap to the other (both off the spark plugs) = open circuit. Bad secondary coil? it starts (hard) and runs (rough) - would it do those things with a no-good secondary coil? Or is that like, if it's open circuit it won't even possibly run at all, something else...

    Ohming the coil: I'm getting 8 and 11 (proportionately) verses 2 and 10 per Haynes Anytime I troubleshoot my way to a diagnosis I generally probably did the test wrong. Are the measurements taken as is (bike not running of course, key off) from ground to each terminal of the coil (red/white &...
