Nope - not been able to do much as been very busy recently - although managed to pop out tonight for 1/2 hours and give it a good staring at, but still nothing

Had a good look at the wiring trying to figure out what does what, but to be honest I'm not good with vehicle electrics, or very patient :oops:

Anyone in the Oxford area fancy popping round to lend a hand? tea and biscuits available

Under normal circumstances I'd pop over but I'm also off to Jerez for a track weekend. Can't even offer you the loan of the Boyer system off my GPz as that packed up at the weekend and has gone back to Boyer for repair.

I have a Boyer ignition that I got from z1000pudding.
I used the magnet from it for another bike but you are welcome to a loan of the rest.
let me know and I can post it to you.

Withba good 12v to the black box disconnect the two green and black pick up wires Touching these tails going to the box should produce a spark. No spark = suspect box. Change it for Dyna S

What a great bunch of guys you lot are :beer

Steve - cheers, its an idea, but don't really want to go backwards

Martin - thanks for the offer to pop over - if I don't get anywhere soon, could you pop over in early April?

PJ - many thanks - yes please

can I borrow - its a lack of alternative kit to try out holding me back a bit - how do you want to do this - I could probably pop up sometime in the next few days, or could you post cheaply? I'll drop you a pm with my number.

Oldzed - many thanks - might take you up on that - will try PJ's 1st

Zedhead - cheers for the tips - will try that 1st - its simple tests like this that can really help with diagnosis

I should be able to. Depending on how it's been wired in to the loom I might be able to strip the Dyna S off my Z900 for you to try.

Cheers Martin - thanks for the offer, but don't go to the trouble of removing stuff from one of your bikes :shock:

hopefully I can use PJ's or some of the other offers

I'll let you know how things go :roll:
