Hi Team, guys Im having problems starting my 05 xtx.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to test the stator wires (3x yellow or white wires from the stator), without the bike running?
I know i could test them to ground to see if theyve shorted but didnt know if you could check the actual resistance.

I think i have a problem with my stator pickup (again!) and have read here that the ohms should read 192-288 ohms. what setting should I have my meter set at for these values? its digital and has 2k 20k 2000k etc ranges.

I changed the stator from another bike only about 50 klms ago (a year ago) and now it looks like this one has died too! I checked the codes and the CPS code came up (but that could have been from last time I changed it).

the bikes sat for a year since last ride. It went fine for about 10kms but then slowly died and wouldnt start. I got it home and it started again but would run really rough over about 2-3000rpm. I checked the tank and it had a fair amount of rust and crud in there so I cleaned it out and flushed the fuel filter screen inside the fuel pump. reassembled the lot but the sparks totally gone now.

tomorrow I'll check the connectors from ECU to CPS. at first I thought the Spark plug had died but the spark just seemed dim and would only fire from time to time. Also noticed that if i flicked the run switch off and on while holding the start button I would get the hint of a spark but then nothing.

so im thinking, check the CPS connectors, check the CPS ohms, check the actual stator.
