2003 klr... problem w/spark.

Jeff....
The stator coils are for the charging system....The Excitor coil produces the Ignition Charge for the CDI to create the spark....
If it doen't have a spark you also want to check the Excitor coil that is also part of the Stator coil assembly...Ohm out the red and white wires ...It should read 100-200 ohms ....and read infinity between the red and white wires and ground....
I had a bad Excitor coil 30 miles from the north rim of the Grand Canyon last year....Needless to say I didn't get to see the Canyon.....Maybe this year !!!! Thanx again Fred !!!!
