spark

Put bike back together after stripping and cleaning carb. Now it won't fire up. The spark seems weak when I check it with the sparkplug earthed against the cylinder head. Have replaced HT lead and cap and sparkplug. Have also removed s/plug and cap and held HT lead about 10mm away from cyl head...

Ok well I have a stator that Sparks has redone.....hooked up everything and still no spark.....touching the plug against the engine. I have checked my wiring, it is all correct, I have checked the reading on the stator it checks out, I have a brand new plug in the bike. What the hell is going...

Ok well I got out the trusty ol multimeter and tested my stator......contacts were rusted very badly when I got the bike, but I polished them to shiny....but I don't have a spark and there is no reading when I test red to black.....green to black has minimal reading. I assume this means I need...

I can't believe it,I've owned this bike for approx 4 months,battery failure,starter failure,leaking gaskets dodgy kick starting and now no spark.Strange thing though,love the bike and the fabulous "design characteristics".I followed the thread on the site but still a bit unsure on a couple of...

I've fitted a Trailtec Vapor computer to my 2002 FS650e. The rev counter on the Vapor gets its trigger from a few turns of sensor wire wrapped around the outer of the spark plug lead. The unit requires a number to be set in to the computer as part of the set up procedure for the rev counter...

Is there a spark arrestor insert available for the Akrapovic Ti slip-on can??

I recently purchased my first MC since 1985; a 2003 fe501e and it runs great, and is a blast. I took it out yesterday for the first time, and rode with some friends. In the Las Vegas Desert. I was told my compression release seal may be leaking a bit, gas is leaking from above the spark plug and...

Hi Guys, I have a 450 Force model 04-05, the other weekend mid enduro it stopped for no reason then after a little while it started up again but then very shortly after it stopped never to go again????????? The only thing I have done so far is to put a spare plug in the plug lead and check for...

Hey guys I have a question about fitting a spark arrestor to my 2000 fc501. Since I have a "dirt" model my bike doesn't have a spark arrestor, and since the local fish and game agents are a little strict about such things, and since I have had run-ins with them in the past on bikes :D .... I...

Hi, ive been helping a friend with a bike that has been standing still for a couple of years and had no spark. To start with the CDI box was broke, a working used one was bought. We switched the CDIs but still no spark. I found what the Stator should deliver to the CDI on this site, and it...

I have a 95 400 berg that does'nt want to take any throttle, it sounds like it is breathing hard. I have cleaned the carb. and replaced stator for another prob. Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am now almost at the point of getting rid of my 2002 FE 650 berg to get a newer version or possibly going 2-stroke again. It just won't start, not even fire a bang everynow and then. I even rode it down a long slope in different gears but it wont even make a sound. It all...

Having just recently picked up my '02 FE400, I'm planning some rides. On top of doing some basic maintenance, I was looking into state/national forest regs for riding different trail systems. Looks like I need to have a spark arrestor on board. The bike has an aftermarket Big Gun exhaust...

Hi Folks I was the guy who asked for advise about the Fe 650 with no spark a couple of months ago. I recieved the bike from a fellow who sent it to a bike shop to have it looked at , because it had no spark. They told him it needed a new ignition switch which they ordered and installed. Again...

Hi guys I have been blessed with a real nice 2003 650 fe sitting in my shop. The owner lost the ignition key and ordered a new ignition for it. When it arrived he took it to a dealer who subbed out the job. Now 8 months later the job is not finished and the bike was brought to me. There is no...

I have read some of the posts regarding the SEM ignition system. I have a FE501-02 with SEM ignition. Last year i had to replace the stator and "flywheel" because of a failure in the charging coil. Everything has worked fine until a a week ago when the bike suddenly stopped and was impossible to...

I have the 05 fc 550 and was wondering if any body has the stock spark arreser that is in real good condition that they might want to sell? Thanks,
