97 TW: Picked this up from a barn. I was told that the bike was used to teach a young rider on. Rider grew up and returned the bike with an oil leak from the side cover. The oil leak was repaired and once put back together it would not run (another pinched wire). I bought the bike and the picture shows what I found. The more tape I removed the more I found. I removed what little factory covering that was left. Even the wire from the lower case (not pictured) had several open bare wire spots. I’m new to all this so expect some real dumb questions
Picture item #1 is this the normal color or is the wiring damaged?
#2 Due to all the open spots in the wire cover and three solder joints is it best to
Make a new harness or tape and cover

thanks for reply. Electronics is a new thing for me. Can you suggest a locations for a download of test procedures?

 

[1953onlytwo]

Great suggestion....thank you sir

 

[1953onlytwo]

Thanks you Ill try this when I put it together

 

[1953onlytwo]

has anyone rebuilt the stator on a 97? Does it have 1 or 2 wires?
Ive been looking for a old burned on one to try. Any suggestion would be great.

Thanks for the service manual info Fred, got it Thanks you sir

 

[1953onlytwo]

sorry it is a 87 my head is up side down trying to to figure all this out thanks

 

[1953onlytwo]

I have decided to rewind my 87 (got it right this time stator. Does anyone know the size of the wire? or number of turns?
Suggestions would be great,,,, Thanks

 

[1953onlytwo]

yap its a 1987,,,saw your pictures..super. Do you know the size wire thats on #1 in my picture? any date would help

 

[1953onlytwo]

Fred,,,,you did send the manual link and I have it on my computer.. I think we have narrowed it down to the coil or cdi.. I should have a coil in by Friday.
So we will see.. If it is the CDI I will really consider changing to a newer stator system. I have a friend that had a 87 I will try his CDI first and go from there.
As soon as I know something Ill post and let you know about any parts. Thank you sir very much

 

[1953onlytwo]

this might be covered some where but I have found anything.. While working on getting this 87 I noticed that the side casing part of the the stator where the wires are routed thru is dry but has oil soaked dirt stuck in it. Since the wires getting pinched or damaged in the chain area has anyone tried modified the case to allow the wiring bundle to exit with out passing the chain? see picture
Its not hard and can be sealed to protect. Was going to replace/ fix the wires like Mistervelosity has.

 

[1953onlytwo]

reference page10, charging system pictures shows different stator than my 87 (three white wires) to check
Is this correct or what am I missing?

 

[1953onlytwo]

will do... got to get coffee and my teeth....let you know thanks for response

 

[1953onlytwo]

Ill try this. Not sure what is what.
wire to cover (three wire connector, black .1, yellow .3, white .8 /// single wires red 346, light red 30.8 /// two wire connector green 0, white 0

3 wire connector black to yellow .6, black to white ,9 /// red to light red 3.15 // two wire connector green to white .83

The three coils inside let to right charging, pulse and pickup is that correct

If did anything wrong please advise thanks in advance

 

[1953onlytwo]

Thanks for the reply,,, as you can tell I not the sharpest knife in the drawer on electrical stuff,,,
After reading a bunch of stuff on here and in the service manual Im getting a bunch of names for the same thing so please straighten me out. (see picture below please name 1, 2, 3)

Ref: test resistance to cover: Xtobi aske ne too do the checks
since the wires have a thick protective cover them inside the housing I can not determine which goes where without going thru the covering.

If anyone would please tell me which wire goes to what it would help a lot there is a three wire connector, two wire connector and two single wires the wiring for #3 is easy to follow

I know that for a lot of people that is experienced with this stuff they are having a good laugh but for me and just maybe a couple others it really new stuff.
Thanks again to all for any and all help. Respectfully

 

[1953onlytwo]

Thanks Xtobi....#3 Pulser coil,,, #2 and #1 is ?

 

[1953onlytwo]

A friend help me trace wires and this is what I have.
#3 Pulser coil, two wire, green and white in connector, tested .83
#2 Source coil. red, light red or brown, red,, single wire, tested red to black 348 and black to light red or brown 30.9
#1 Charging coil, white and yellow in connector with white, yellow and black tested white to yellow , tested .83
test was by HF Ames 100 amp digital clamp meter
suggestion

 

[1953onlytwo]

Im not sure I know what the question is since the meter is auto. Please check phot and advise if the setting are wrong and they need to taken so other way. Thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge

 

[1953onlytwo]

The readong are in the one just above yours that asked "units" They were all taken the same way Thanks

 

[1953onlytwo]

I think Im starting to understand kohm vs ohm sorry for empty brain
#1 pulser coil: kohm .833 ohm 833
#2 sourse coil: kohm.4 ohm 400
#3 charging coil: red to red: 315 ohms ( is that the correct wires to check?

Are you wanting me to see if any or all wires from 1,2,3 have continuity to the cover?

Thanks for your help and putting up with my lack of knowledge
