For those not familiar, what I'm asking for is the HT resistance, which is the spark plug wire connection. If you have a multimeter, the ohms setting should be the 20K range, but try all ranges if you don't get a reading. In my case, I get no reading on any range, indicating 'open'. With the bike not running, disconnect the plug wire from the coil and the (-) primary lead (the other end of the coil) and put one test lead on one and one on the other. Try the other primary lead as well for consistency. Also, both coils for consistency. Unplug one primary at a time if you are worried about reconnecting them backward. I'm going to take some light steel wool to my HT leads; maybe some oxidation is preventing a proper reading.
This is a pretty simple and fast test that may tell you something about your own coils too, so anyone who wants to do it and report back that would be great. If mine are bad I'm going to get the nology pro-fires, so anyone with those who wants to report resistance go for it, just identify if you have nology or gill (stock) coils.
PS - if you aren't going to do this because you don't have a multimeter, for $20 it's a tool worth having for bikes, home wiring, hobbies, whatever.
Thanks!!
