Yes. There will be small amount of residue around pick up unit. It's from splash up.

+12 vdc showing on meter?

If the + voltage stays on the orange wire and the light does not flicker the CDI is not "firing" the coils. We can then check for pulse from the pick up.

Yes. Good. That means there is primary supply voltage to the coil. Next we need to see if the CDI is switching the ground to the coils. You can disconnect the orange and black wires from the coil tabs and hook up the test light to the orange and black wires. Hook up your digital multimeter to the orange wire (red probe) and battery negative (black probe). Ignition on and crank engine over about 10 revolutions. See if test light flickers and make sure the + voltage still reads on the meter.

Sweet collection.

Sorry I'm not more on it. I need the wiring diagrams in hand to really get down to work. Memory isn't what it used to be. Age and all.... I will be back in the shop on Sunday and have all pertinent bits to figure this out if we dont find the issue before then.

Yes. A ride at this time is essential.

Do you have +12 vdc on the orange wires when ignition is on and during cranking? This voltage is checked using your digital multimeter, red probe on orange and black probe to chassis ground.

Hello and welcome to OSS. Nice looking pic of the M and N.

You can use that one for checking ignition on constant +12 vdc. It will be hard to see the pulsing switches ground though. You can use a 12 vdc light bulb though. Connect it across the coil and see if it flickers as the engine is cranked.

As far as the pickup test I dont remember the specs from memory and I am away from my shop now. Also, verify good ground continuity between the ground wire of the CDI plug and the bike chassis. This needs to be near 0 ohms.

You should have a continuous +12 vdc on one tab of each of the ignition coils with ignition switch on. When the engine cranks, the CDI grounds the other tab of each ignition coil to make the coil fire its respective cylinders. This is easiest seen with a analog voltmeter set to DC volts. The needle will pulse from aprox 10 vdc to 0 vdc in a sweeping motion. The pickup signal is an input into the CDI that is used to determine when to generate this ground switching to the coils. Do you have an analog voltmeter? Have you already tested this part?

By the way, JetHot is just up the road from us in Burlington. Prices seem to be fair.

Dude.....awesome, f'n awesome work! Extraordinary detail. Wow. Can't wait to see them in person.

Right on @Poldarkand @BigT and @scott-s. This site is by far the best I've found. I'm camping out here.

Hello @Gixxerguy86welcome to OSS. Hope you can get a crew together out there.

Hopefully VIR is still a go. Time to get out and see some machinery. Holding down this recliner is getting old.

Thanks @scott-s. Checking it out now. Hopefully this coronacrap will be long gone by then. Are you going this year? I need a vacation. Looks like just the place.

When is it?

@scott-snice to meet you. That fest sounds cool. Barber Motorsports in Ala.? Do you go?

@Wee ManDang! That's one sweet scoot. Beautiful. Show went well?

Nice. Whose bike is the black and purple? Where did those 5 spoke wheels come from?

Great pic so far WeeMan. Love the banner. Keep the pics coming.

Now we're getting somewhere Poldark. Sounds like we need to make it happen. rdubandit and I are about 2.5 hrs south of VIR.

RDUbandit. I'm in. I'm in between Raleigh and Fayetteville . Judging by your name you must be as well.
