Backfiring Part2

Help, i fear it may not be long until i'm sectioned under the mental health act unless i can fix this cursed kr1s. Carrying on from my previous topic of backfiring. I have now replaced the cdi and double checked the new stator, as per the manual and still no go. Now i am getting intermittant sparking. As it's a wasted spark system i'm assuming it should spark simultaniously, but mine sparks simultaniously then on the right then left. just randomly and then sometimes not at all. I was convinced it was cdi problems as everything else has been changed. I am now completely out of ideas but refuse to let this swine get the better of me. Any ideas apart from burn it? Cheers. :(

is it a brand new stator ? if not, how do you know if it's ok ?

best thing to do is find someone near you that has a running KR, and change parts untill you found what's causing the problem.

Yep brand new stator from electrexworld but i have checked it as per the manual.
Living just outside gloucester. Kr1s's are rare as rocking horse shit round here.

The intermitant spark youve described makes me think it's the coil, especially the fact that you say it goes from both to one or the other.
I'd try to find a known good coil from a running bike if someone will lend you one for testing.

Good luck.
Cheers, Scott.

pick up stator or
rotor slipping, make sure the woodruff key is fitted..

Just fitted a new h.t coil, stator and pick up coil. Also pulled the flywheel off to make sure the woodruff key hadn't sheared off. Magnets are all ok in the rotor.
