I am having some difficulty with my ignition system on a recently purchased 87 kxf 250 tecate 4. The bike has been sitting for about a year and I am unable to get the ignition system to produce a spark. I I have the problem narrowed down to the CDI unit or the stator. I ordered a new CDI. My question is about the stator. I tested the resistance across the stator and I get 70 Ohms. According to my book this is 10 Ohms above normal. Do you think my stator is bad?

Also I was told the tecates have 6 gears is this correct?

 

I would say the stator is bad. If you dont trust your test bring it to a local kaw dealer and have them test it, would be cheaper than throwing parts at it.

I had 2 tecate 3-wheelers and the stator went out in both of them. I had a company called -stator corp- rebuild it for $50 to $75. I dont know the number or location, it was about 6 years ago.

Im not sure on the number of gears, you can check it without the quad running.

 

Thanks for the info, anybody else?

 

hey man ur story sounds exactly like mine i just bought an 87 tecate and they guy told me the cdi unit was bad i ordered 1 hooked it up and nothin
