Dear motorcycle friend, Thank you very much for the clear explanation of the voltage regulator issue. My headlight bulb keeps blowing at high RPMs. I will clean the contacts and add an additional regulator from a smaller motorcycle in front of the bulb. This will surely help-thanks to you. Thank you, and I wish you many happy miles. Tom
Cheers for that - I'm about to dive into it right now as I still have one rolling (well Kinga rolling atm) but there's still plenty of life left in this old school bike 💪
@@Calvinm I'm getting another stator today. Should fox the problem :) You didn't mention Voltage you get on running bike, I think that could also help. I got crazy bad values 😄
Somebody put a self tapper through your frame with a new terminal for the ground. Notice how the black wire goes off to the right of the rectifier? That ground lead is supposed to go on the bottom corner bolt of the rectifier. My guess is somebody threw an aftermarket rectifier on this and couldn't get the terminal to fit because that rectifier does not look oem.
I'm on a 1992 seca 2 here and reading 0.6-0.7 ohms resistance when testing the 3 white wires connector coming from stator. Is this too high for resistance? Could this mean a bad stator?
Make sure you take the resistance of the multimeter leads into consideration. If the multimeter doesn't read zero when you touch the leads together then you have to add that number to your measurement. That's what sounds like is happening for you. Good luck!
Hi Calvin, great video. I have a bit of an issue whereby cylinders 1 and 2 are not firing but 3 and 4 are. I haven't come across anybody else with this issue on the internet unfrotunately. I have compression and spark but it won't pop. Checked all the stuff in this video too. Had the carbs off and blasted cleaner through everything. Reckon it's worth trying a new igniter or what else would you try?

You are welcome!

Hope you get it running soon!

Thanks mate brought a 1992 xj600 yesterday need to get it started will try a new battery first of all
Good luck!
Good stuff👍. I plan to get one of these soon.
Thanks for this useful clip! Appreciate.

Did you figure it out?
It's easy to forget the coil wire order: 1&4 and 2&3 share coils. If you wired it 1&3 and 2&4, then 1&2 wouldn't fire.
What is actually under the part you called stator?
Clutch housing I believe
