Hey Gents...
Been having a few issues with my 86 250r. Last couple of months it ran fine, then one day it just died while I was driving it! Like someone had turned the kill switch!
Brought it home and checked the plug, spark seemed kinda weak, but the plug was not that old. Put in a new plug and it fired right up, ran fine, then yesterday it died (with maybe 2 hours on the plug) again!!!! Same exact way, zipping in second gear in the bush trails behind my house!
Put in a new plug again and it started right up again and runs fine!!! I'm guessing the stator or something is getting weak and not putting out a strong spark on the plug when it starts getting a bit dirty??:wondering
Anybody have issues like this...gonna check the stator when I get some time but before I plop 150$ on a new one, or a coil, maybe someone can fill me in...I can't be the only bike with this kind of issue?
