I have a chopped xs650 1980 engine and I am having the hardest time trying to figure out what ignition I need. Everything about the bike is custom (I'm sure you get a lot of those). I would like a reliable "set it and forget it" type ignition. I have been doing a lot of homework on what I would need, but to no avail have I gotten a solution to my problem.
Currently I am working with a reg/rec combo, and a ignitor unit. Also I have gone through 3 coils (stock and used). I have scoured the internet looking for a wire diagram that suits what I am doing and I finally found on! Perfect, the bike runs..... Well, ran... It ran great for roughly 20 min. and then nothing. I can't get get the bike to kick or anything. Quite frankly it's pissing me off because after roughly 2 years this thing should run.
I have seen a chopped wire harness on TC Bros. web site and thought that it would make life much easier. Considering my reg/rec and ignitor unit have their connections cut off I would have to buy new ones.
Please help, this is getting quite frusterating and all I wanna do is ride.
Oh, there are no mechanics around that will work on my bike, not even a Yamaha dealer
