I am new to all things motorcycle. Less than two weeks ago I brought home my first bike, a nearly immaculate M16. I'm trying to get it running smoothly again as it has been sitting dormant for some time. I know little about motorcycles in general, let alone the NSR. It's been sputtering and popping, as to be expected, but sometimes it won't start.
I could use some input on a few things---
---I'm looking for replacement ignition coils. I've found quite a few aftermarket parts, but can't be sure if they are compatible. Do they have to be make/model specific? Or would any made for 250cc 2 strokes work? The coils certainly look the same but I'm reluctant to buy until I know for sure...
---Does anybody know how to check the wiring harness? Specifically, that wire which plugs into the ignition coil and leads from...well...I'm not sure where it leads from exactly. I followed it back to a couple plugs, but I don't know which pin to check...
I've troubleshot each of the spark plugs and coils. They are working, if they are a bit weak. I would like to replace the coils and double-check the wiring harness continuity just to be sure.
Please forgive me, I'm so terribly new to all this and I don't know how to better explain the problems. I would really appreciate any input. I saw the link for the English maintenance manuals--that's my next stop. However, it's almost painful to have a beautiful bike that I can only stare at until I fix it.
Thank you for reading!
