new owner from missouri. could use advice
Hey I'm Brad I just bought a 08 250 from a buddy and I have ran all the tests i can think of, I got fuel and compression but I am not getting any spark after the ignition coils, there is power going to the coils green and red on both sides but no spark at plug. Is that a simple ignition coil and wire that needs replaced? Or could it be the cdi box even though I got power going into coils? Please help me out I'm stumped, every relay and diode got power to n from. ( other then one diode I couldn't find any power but I thought maybe it had to be running) . shoot me some ideas please.
Can I get a few ideas on where to buy most reliable an reasonably priced parts too? Thanks |

Welcome
Not sure where to get parts for it in your area. I use several sites, ridersdiscount, Babbitt...etc.

The primary coils are normally energized while being charged as coils do. When the sensor by the generator sends a magnetic signal to the CDI box, that energy reaching the coils is suddenly cut (by the box), which induces a high voltage in the secondary coil and a spark. If the safety switches are telling the box not to cut the energy, sparks will not jump and the engine will not purposely start up. Those switches sometimes fail. See this: http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Underst...afety_switches

re: No Sparky
Hello and Welcome Brad!
I too have a really nice '08 250R...Luv it!! There are so many tidbits of info on this site about our Ninja 250's to help you throw more dough into your bike! LOL Just a shot in the dark about your no-spark issue...could it possibly be the kickstand switch? I have had this happen before after checking the obvious no-spark at the plug issue's and found that either the switch is bad or the wiring to it was damaged....hope you get er going! |

@b.boss77t
Stupid question time, is the ignition switch OEM?. Or aftermarket? Have you cleaned the caps and renew the HT leads? Here's my write-up it might help you out. Even bad plugs should do something, unless they are totally shot. Did you renew the HT leads, and disassemble the caps? Make sure you disassemble the caps, and clean them, and yes the caps get cruddy. Here my write-up, Quote:
Wires are just 7mm copper core, with clear silicone jacket IMPORTANT NOTICE: make sure to use a proper screwdriver, make sure it fits, as the parts are made of brass inside the spark plug caps Important notice: the wire must be screwed on the spark plug cap, note the screw like object inside the spark plug cap? Important notice: be careful to not loose the ferrules on the HT leads, these keep the wire from falling out of the coil. Below is an example of ferrules on a pressure fitting, looks familiar? If you remove the non-red wire and ground that terminal of the coil there will be a spark. When you un-ground it there will be another spark. That is all the ignitor is doing but it is doing with a transistor when it receives a signal from the pickup coils. In between the pickup coils and the transistor is a micro-controller that determines the advance of the spark depending on rpm. Also you might want to consider doing the CoPs conversation once you get it working with the OEM coils, don't want to add another problem/ variable when diagnostics is being done. Kawasaki ZX Ignition Coil Pack modification. Kawasaki ZX Ignition Coil Pack/ coil over plugs (CoPs) modification.
