Ok, I am going through the electrical components with a multimeter according to the shop manual. Now admittedly electrical troubleshooting is about at the bottom of my list of mechanical skills, but I am not having much luck at all to the point where I am stuck , frustrated and am in need of experienced guidance.
issue #1: Some of the components I need to test (Main switch) are not easy to indentify from the pictures and in the case of the (Run Switch) have different color lead wires than what is identified in the manual.
issue #2: Having tested two of the coils on the stator, one tests within spec while I get no reading at all on the other, which would logically lead one to believe that that coil is bad. However, upon testing the ignition coil in both maners instructed, one test yields a number Way out of spec while the other test gives no reading at all. Of course its highly unlikely that multiple components failed all at once, so this makes no sense unless I am taking incorrect readings somehow.
I am confused and frustrated. While I understand to some degree how the electrical system works, I have No real experience and skills in this area. I just wanna identify the problem part so I can get back to enjoying riding again.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
