Well I went to little sahara toaday, this was my second time to go but this time sucked. As soon as we got there we started unloading and I backed off my raptor and and it fired right up, so I walked away to help a buddy, it died so I walk back over to start it and all it does is the started just keeps turning but theres no response. Well we get everything apart and there really is no spark at all. So, we take it down to the race shop and have a mechanic look at it, he swapped out the cdi, the coil, the rev box, tried a new battery and we traced through all of the wiring harness to fight if it was grounding out on something, but nothing worked. We did however get it to backfir one time but that was the only sign of life we got from it other than the starter turning. The guy said it could be the stator but I dont know. Is there anything else I could check. I am desperate here please help.

 

Did you try to pull-start it? Ive had my raptor just "quit" on me and it turned out to be a loose conection at the CDI, specifically the orange wire. Also make sure the plug is good and the wire aint corroded.

 

yeah we tried pull starting it after we got back from the shop wit it but nothin happened. The mechanic did say something about that he thought that my problem had something to do with that orange wire that comes out of the coil.

 

Is there even a possibility it could be ther stator. I'm really lost for ideas and dont know what to do next.

 

help

 

i had a run in with the mech at little sahra and i was not inpressed take it to your local yamaha shop and let them look at it. couse wireing is a pain in the a$$.

 

its the stator. I had the same problem. I tested everything with an ohm meter, except the stator. I bought a cdi box and a spark plug boot. Still didnt work. I took the stator out and tested it and it didnt read anything on the ohm meter. So i bought a ricky stator stator and put it in and it started right up.
