Had a similar problem on a CBR250RR.....spent ages going over all the main ignition components. Even made a peak voltage adaptor and everything was ok....finally found no 12volts from the battery at the primary coil tab. It was a loose pin in the connector.....sigh.
I really hope that putting in a 100 ohm fuse fixes my problem. I’m getting 12.22 at the battery and then at the white connector up front it read 9.46 I believe. At the very back ( by ecu/igniter ) the grey wire is reading 12.2 12.7 . It cranks all day long no start no spark .
That would be a 100 ohm resistor, not fuse. You have to check your ignition pickup coil to see if it shows resistance using an ohm meter. If it reads infinity, it is no good. Infinity is displayed as OL on your meter. Try going through all the resistance scale ranges on your meter, so as not to be fooled by having your meter on the wrong setting.
@@javierballin8116 I ended up, replacing the entire harness, and that fixed it in the end. My bike was down for over two years, and I replaced every electrical component you can think of including the battery all came down to a harness.
What was that, a ZX-11? So, what would you suggest if you ran into a problem with a 2000 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R the Unrestricted A1, and you pull in your driveway, with a good battery, come outside and no spark and not priming?
Yes I have a 1997 zx600c and the ignition switch connector has six prongs and it has a gray wire in the middle coming from the switch going to the next the connector piece on the other side has no wire to connect to gray
I’m having the same issue no spark. I tested the gray wire and I’m getting 12 volts once I connect to the cdi it drops to 9.79 volts. I’ve read your comments on no more then 6 volts are suppose to go through, so does that mean my cdi is burnt or In anti theft mode?
It's more then likely a blown resistor in the ignition switch. You absolutely have to have around 6volts on the grey wire going into the cdi. So you'll need a 1/4 watt 100ohm resistor going from the white wire to the grey wire. (Although I have mine going from the brown to grey because the white is a constant hot 12v source and the brown isn't) everything I've read says white to grey but Brown also works.
If you look at his neat and tidy shop, and see his ability to troubleshoot quickly and methodically, I’d be willing to bet he put the orange seal back where it came from.
What year is yours? I have a 03 zzr600 I'm trying to get running. The coils don't get power when the motorcycle is on but they do get power when it's off. You wouldn't happened to have any insight on that would ya?
@@lracegroeg7990 So I got that part figured out now where im at is the coils get power but the coil wires don't I've tried 3 different sets of wires so I think it's safe to say the issue isn't the wires it's somewhere else I've also tried 3 different sets of coils so I can't see that being the problem either idk what it could be I just don't understand how the coils could be getting power but the coil wires aren't. If you have any ideas anything could be helpful
I thought that the Grey wire is suppose to have 6 volt I'm having same problems but I can not figure it out for shit been trouble shooting this for a week strait fixing to just sell the damn thing I've checked everything I know to check I checked ignition 12volt on one side of resister other side of resister reads little over 6 volts is that mean it's working or not working at this point I'm just agervated ready to sell 2005 zx10r 28k paid 1200 for it ran great then lost spark 2 or three days after buying first one with a 1000 bucks can have it located in Tennessee. I'm fucking over it
The grey wire is a security measure. It can have no more than 6 volts going into the cdi. If it has more it wont send power to the coils. Anti-theft security measures.
Someone explain the grey wire and resistor. I have 92 zx7. One coil sparks, the other doesn't. 1&4 do not. The problem happened after the neighbor tried to damage it. But not sure what happened.
@@VictorManuelMartinez-d4d I found the issue in the rotor. The pickup had come loose. Causing a terrible knocking. Now I'm onto the carbs. Someone who'd stolen it had them messed up. Dialed them in by eye... and wonder how much pressure the fuel pump is pushing. Should it run continuously? It purges ok. For a few seconds and then falls off. Any tips?
Having the same trouble..no spark... On my 1997 zx6r... Ill check like you do on this bike..thanks.. your video help..
Hey Mr. Mostafa, that used to be my bike! Awesome you made this video, so informative.

Great troubleshooting, thanks!
I have a 2000 kawasaki ninja zx9r,does the gray wire need a resistor
I'm having the same issue is there a way I can reach out to you and maybe you can help me out?
There is a 100 ohm resistor in the ignition switch that goes bad and allows 12 volts through that's why it wont start
I really hope that putting in a 100 ohm fuse fixes my problem. I’m getting 12.22 at the battery and then at the white connector up front it read 9.46 I believe. At the very back ( by ecu/igniter ) the grey wire is reading 12.2 12.7 . It cranks all day long no start no spark .

Can you please clarify the year and exact model number of the vehicle you're working on? Thanks!
On the spark plug wire the red cable is actually showing earth or negative What can i do in this situation
Hi there The bike stator wire's came off to much connection's on the lead how can I would like to replace the wire
Hello, this ignition system does not have ignition wires, it is a cop system.

I hope he puts the orange gasket back on the circuit board he popped open. He took it off and tossed it. Water and corrosion love open seals.

When you check the spark plug wires, do you check both wires or just the red one?
It only checks for positive
mate check the 30 amp fuse that powers the solenoid easy cheap fix i have same machine .
Any way you could take a video of that connection? On my ZZR600 the wires were cut in an apparent attempt to remedy the problem

Most cases you,ll blow the cdi box on zx7r,s so the thieves cant hotwire,,
lol dude has no idea about the 100ohm resister

Hola yo tengo ese mismo problema pero ago lo mismo del video pero no logro que tires chispa y también es el mismo cable gris
Tengo la misma situación lograste solucionar?
Necesitan UNA resistencia para el cable gris
Having the exact issue.
O yes sorry The bike is 750 Kawasaki GPZ ninja

Wrong dude ... cdi box grey wire gets 6 volts
