I have a 2000 M2 Cyclone. My issue is what or why am I having Ignition module problems. I have put 2 module on because the first one basically blew. My Bike has new coil, wires, plugs diodes relays n a breaker. I had to put on a started plunger switch because starter switch on handle bars wont work and I found that my tach n speedo stopped working also. My Bike ran perfectly for a month then just died as I was riding n now it is doing the same thing when other modules went, turning over but not firing to start. |

I recently had to repair some wiring in my '99 X1 Lightning.
As our bikes age, wiring insulation and the strands themselves tend to get stretched and worn out.
You need to go over your wiring harness top to bottom. Run your fingers along each discrete wire going from something to each connector. Fortunately for you, you have a carb, so that minimizes sensors.
More than likely, you problem is either at a ty-rap to frame band used to secure the harness or at an ignition module connector.
Hope you find it quickly. Save this thread to your "favorites" on your browser (makes it easy to find down the road) then post up again and tell us what you found.

Another thing. If you don't have a Field service manual, get one.

One other thing I've discovered is that a lot of times just a visual inspection of the wires does not find "broken" connections - the strands separate inside the insulator. The best approach is (also) test for continuity. |

Starter switch issue also? Check your ignition switch. |

I hate to say it but a lot of problems stem from loss of proper grounds. Especially weird electrical gremlins. And it has happened to ME. If something is not grounded properly it WILL take the path of least resistance and FRY anything in its way if it can. Especially delicate electronics. |
