Hi

New to the forum so hi to you all.

Bike: Sherco 290 2004 model

Problem: The bike started ok ran it fine through the woods, then through a stream, then it started chugging and it cut out on tick over. Now it will not start. There is no spark at the plug.

Help advice needed.

Cheers Brent.

it will probably be the stator .check with a meter to see if there is any power coming out. if not remove and send to a rewinding company. they advertise in most papers .maybe on t/c .they wont take long to rewind it and not to dear .hope this helps.

See if it dries out, check the connections and such, disconnect kill button/switch and earth on coil before jumping to conclusions.

While you're checking the connectors it's only a 5 minute job to check the stator readings, the test is explained in this link

http://www.splatshop.co.uk/stator-repair.html

I had a similar problem late last year with no spark which didn't come back after unplugging then replugging the connectors but when I tested the stator the next day it returned & also showed a hairline crack in the original plug cap which was shorting to the fan motor

Do the test when everything is dry & hopefully it will just be something minor rather than a dead stator

Hi All,

Have checked the stator readings as per splatshop have put the actual readings in brackets:

Black from multimeter to earth, Red to wire from stator plug.

Blue - no reading (1 is acceptable)

Brown - 1000 to 1600 (actual reading 1982)

Black - 1050 to 1650 (actual reading 1355, flashs once then back to 1)

Red wire on multimeter to earth, black to wire from stator plug.

Blue - 600 to 730 (actual reading 884)

Brown - 650 to 770 (actual reading 940)

Black - 650 to 770 (actual reading 940)

Any help PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Many Thanks

Brent.

Differences in readings are pretty consistant which will be down to your meter, the black to earth flashing then going open circuit is more of a problem.

Email or call Chris at splatshop & see what he thinks of your readings, I've found him very helpful when having my problem last year

Long story made short, Just get Chris to send you a CDI and a stator to see which fixes it, if you have checked all the other connections.

Other than the suply coil readings, the Hall effect readings can be misleading at best, and still doen not mean they will function properly under working conditions.
