My lovely R80ST has died....
For the last couple of rides I have had occasional misses, ie; the bike feels like one pot or the other has not fired.
I did think it might be water in the float bowls as I had this before on my R100GS long ago...... but on dropping the float bowls, no water in ther bottom..... so that wasn't the cause for the misfires.....even tho' the bike has been soaked a few times recently
The, yesterday, about 3 miles from home, the bike misfired a couple of times, then died completely.
Its NOT the Ignition pickup (I did the spark plug grounded, flick kill switch on and off........ no spark at all).... and I have replaced the ignition bean can with an electronic pickup from Motorworks about 6 months ago after the bean can failed.
So thoughts: 1; Coil has failed
2: Dioded board failed.
What is the best way to test each, and is it possible without a multimeter as I broke mine in my last garage move.
Thanks in advance.
