electrical problem

[fastrider450r]

Im getting intermitant spark on my 2005 450. It just started all of a sudden, checked all the wires and nothing seems to be rubbing or shorting/grounding out. Maybe its the coil or something, not sure. Any Ideas?
thanks!!

I am betting the stator is starting to go. It is a very common problem, especially on the 04-05's. I have had 2-3 stators crap out on me. There is a ignition pulse generator I bet is starting to short out. You can try finding someone with an 04-05 and swapping the CDI box, rectifier, or coil/spark plug cap and see if that works but I am almost guaranteeing the stator is your problem. Let us know!

thanks!! cut open your oil filter, make sure there are no metal flakes..


when a bearing goes south, the metal will cling to your flywheel causing strange spark issues

thanks guys, ill let you know, this would be my third stator if that is the case. Last time I didnt have this issue, it just went all at once.
thanks!!

does anyone offer a aftermarket stator or only stock? I know only stock was available 6 years ago when it went out the first time, i've been out of the game for about 5 years from being in the marine corps.

Also it did run fine until I would hit water at first, now it just does it dry as a bone no water in sight lol
