coil test

I charged the battery (initially it settled around 13.2V) and tested spark from all of the plug wires.... twice... on each cyclinder. All three had strong and consistent spark as I turned the engine over. I was a little curious as to why it took a second or two for the spark to show after hitting the starter, but once it came on it looked wide and bluish like you said. Made the tests and then through the charger back on the battery. A little disappointed in a way that I didn't find anything wrong here. [I did have the thought that the stalling almost always happens once the bike is warmed up, so heat was one factor that I couldn't introduce without hooking up an auxiliary fuel supply and running it on two cylinders] Well, the lesson here is that with a cold engine the coils "seem" to be just fine. Is it time for me to get that thin-walled plug socket now?
