Fitted new ignition pick up coil gapped to .8 and all is well.

Points to note.

The steel guide for the wiring is like a razor and repostioning the cable to gain slack damaged my outer sheath. Made good with self amalgamating tape, hope it stays put! Well worth deburring if possible.

I used Kawasaki liquid gasket on the rubber to alloy joints and it was fiendishly expensive and messy as it is very runny. But no leaks!

Bike started first time this morning, best ever sub zero start, I am putting that down to the Nology coil.

Recomended torque for the pickup coil screws was about a twentieth of what it took to shift them. maybe they use araldite as thread lock, answers on a post card? I gave them an extra tweak anyway because The torque wrench clicked at just past nipped and I don't trust the things especialy where anything liquid is used on a thread.

Forgetto Hello, (sorry for my English), I'm from Spain and I have a Speedmaster carburetion 2006, a few months ago, I came fallon a piston. sometimes you do well and others not, I led the workshop, we have checked the coils and are well, we have changed the spark plugs and still ingual, the mechanic told me that failure is the CDI. But I saw on your site that can be pick-up. From Spain have told me that you understand much about the subject.
Can you help me?
thanks

Have they tried measuring the sensor resistance before they blame the problem on the igniter or CDI box?. It's an expensive item to change without being sure.

Han comprobado la resistencia del sensor antes de condenar el modulo CDI de encendido?. Es una pieza demasiado cara para condenarla antes de eliminar el sensor.

sensor resistance you mean pick-up, as you explain in the beginning?
if you please to explain it, I'd tell my mechanic
regards

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESISTANCE VALUE

But note that on later bikes, after VIN number 437493 they've changed the specification and part number of the pick-up coil. Old number was T1290131, new one is T1296505.

There are some mechanical changes as well, but the new resistance value is of the order of 217 Ohms rather than the 600 Ohms of the old one.

I added this info from Forchetto from another thread

Thanks Forchetto for posting these topics you've saved me a lot of time and money.My thrux wouldn't start and we've managed with tune ecu and a good mechanic to narrow it down to this.

You get a cheers too Haggis for the part numbers!
