I read on here somewhere that to test a coil you measure ohms between the center pin where the wire plugs into and both sides where the plug wires go. The thread where I got this info said the ohms "should" be between 2.4 and 4.0, and that they should be the same from side to side. I just measured mine and they are 6.3 on one side and 6.38 on the other. What do you guys think? Bad coil or normal? | ||

Normal. Unless your meter is really expensive, it won't be accurate at those low resistance values. | ||

Is it possible for a coil to test ok and still be bad? I've read that other people have had the same symptoms and their problems were solved by a coil. | ||

what are the symptoms? I have a miss around 2000 rpm that I cant get rid of. | ||

Do you have a race kit installed or any parts of it? If so, the race ECM can exhibit a slightly rough throttle response as compared to the stocker below 3 grand. Perhaps this roughness is being misconstrued as a miss? | ||

Mesa, if you want to cruise around on your bike at 2000 rpm, you need to ride something designed to do that. Sure, it is a V twin, but the cruisers are detuned so that they are comfortable at lower rpm's. Buells are designed to make more power, and the cost is not as much torque at low rpm's. Keep your bike above 2500 rpms, (3k is better) and both you and the bike will be happier. |
