2006 yamaha vstar classic need mechanical help please.

#1 Unread post by Caage »

Recently my bike stopped running. It has a brand new battery. I have changed the plugs I have taken it apart and replaced one coil that was bad and now I still have no spark! Should I check the other coil or go further towards the battery to search out the problem. I am not a mechanic for sure but I am still trying to fix the bike on my own. I have a voltage screwdriver but not a meter. I can get one. Im looking for advice on what to do next. Thank you very much

Are you sure the wires to the battery terminals are screwed on tight?

I ask because that was the problem a friend had recently.

Hello Caage and welcome to the forum. You want to use a DVM or Digital Voltage Meter. We want to see a picture of your bike.

I havent checked that but I will, thank you. I was thinking of pulling the other coil or I could get a meter and just check it on the bike? Remember I said the one coil was bad.

Thanks,

Caage.
