2005 Honda VT 600 C Shadow - Page 8 Questions & Answers
1980 cb650 c. Power to the plugs. Why no power to the coils?
Possibly 4 things :
1- switch on handle bar is off or bad meaning broken ( open - not making contact) this is a common occurrence.
2- check that you have +12 volts (battery voltage)to one side to your coils with a volt meter when the ignition switch is turned on.
3- remove the wires from the coil and turn the ignition switch on. Check for the +12volts battery power on one side of the coil , you are looking for a shorted coil.
4- remove the coil wires. Using a volt meter set to read ohms on the kw range. Test between the power +12vdc of the coil and a output to the sparkplug. You shoul read ~ 18 kw . A 1ohm or Infinity means the coil is defective. Keeping the meter lead on the +12vdc test the othe ouptput to the other sparkplugs you should get a similar reading. Test between the +12vdc and the - on the coil with the wires removed, you should read around 4 ohms . 1ohm or 20or more is an indication of a bad coil.
Thes are pretty good tests for a coil system in you bike .
Hey I rode a KZ 1000 in the day.

So if I can help in any other way get in touch with me.

Poor downshifting when bike is hot. no problems at all when the bike is cold.
A bad spring, bent rod, etc, can cause poor shifting. Dirt or debris may be jamming it. If the shifter mechanism is o.k. then you might have a transmission fork bent and will need to get inside the tranny.
An oil change smooths out the shifting too. Consider one if you don't have a recent one

2010 VFR 800. How can I resolve lost key?
No, you can't bypass. The dealership might be able to cut you a key, or you buy a new barrel and keys. If it has an immobilizer, it will need resetting.
