ive got an 05 450r. went out for a day long ride and about a mile from my truck i stopped for a second, went to take off and the bike died. it would not start, which resulted in a tow back. ive got 2- 04s and an 05.
upon returning home i swapped cdi, regulator, plug, checked all the connections etc. finally swapped the coil and the lights are lighting up now and it acts like it wants to start. spits and sputters. and no improvement with starting fluid. so i pulled the carb off and cleaned it, checked jets, etc (carb looked perfect). havent placed it back on yet, but could it still be the stator or no since it improved with the coil? or could it be valves?
also any advantage or disadvantages with an aftermarket coil vs oem?
05 has hrc cam, filter, full exhaust, hrc lid.
another similar question about my 04. only rode it twice. when i bought it, started 2nd kick. only thing i have done is a full maintence and put the spark arrestor/baffle back in. after a ride it would kick over and run fine. then a few hours later it would not wanna start unless i bump started it. came home, adjusted the valves, put in a new plug and still no improvement. it simply wont kick over now as it did before the valve adjustment. i was thinking it was the same issue as above(stator/coil problem). 04 is bone stock except a filter.
