NO SPARK

I parked my 82xj650 last weekafter a smooth Sunday cruise & went back to the garage Tuesday to find it dead . ABSOLUTELY NO SPARK I changed the plugs , coils , cdi unit , checked all fuses , it's getting fuel , battery is strong {1yr old } & I'm getting weak...I have had the bike for 4 years without any problems that were not " normal " maintenance stuff ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED , I'm no mechanic , but willing to get my hands dirty....THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

have you checked fuses? and fusebox?

 

At your CDI, are you getting ~12volts on the Red/White wire with the key on and kill switch on?

 

will it turn over if you take a screwdriver and jump the solenoid posts?

 

All fuses are good everything works , cranks strong , DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE 12VOLTS AT THE CDI BUT WILL CHECK....what's up if it's not got 12

 

It means you got no power to the ignition circuit.

 

thanks for the direction & info , I'll get at it on the weekend , after I shoot my kids...lol

 

WELL i GAVE IN & TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THEY TOOK IT ALL APART , TESTED EVERYTHING , FOUND NOTHING WRONG , PUT IT BACK TOGETHER & IT STARTED , AND AFTER 3HRS OF RIDING IT'S STILL PURRING......AHHHHH....LIFE WITH AN OLD BIKE...LOL

 

you actually got a shop to look at it? they wouldnt give me the time of day they said it was too old.

Do you have the stock fuse block? If so, that may be the cause of your intermittent failure. I recommend changing it out with a new ATO style before the problem comes back.

 

Thanks ....that was also the mechanic,s suggestion ,will do so ASAP & to try eliminate the possibilities of another let down
