If it has one little spot that it is just a touch too snug, it HAS to wear to accommodate that snug spot. A drive chain system of any kind really does not last as long with ZERO Slack, as it does with 'some slack'. Allow me to suggest to Check the adjustment at the Same EXACT TDC MARK once every 5000-7500 miles. |

Well, not aiming for “zero slack”, but “just right” with “some slack”. What happens a lot is people don’t have a way to measure chain-tension, so “zero slack” becomes only identifiable target. It really should be about 1mm with about 8-lbs push on chain.
With enough practice and experience, you can get a feel for right tension when pushing on chain. Until you get that feel down, chain should be checked regularly and tension inspected. Only adjust if necessary. Hard to quantify, what you need is CCT with gauge. Some kind of calibrated mechanism to keep chain at proper tension. |

Interesting and a bit surprising to me...I'm working on a Honda 750 Shadow V twin right now....2 separate cam chains....using a coil spring arrangement to determine tension (not traditional tensioners as used on so many inline 2's and 4's)
Internal, no maintenance nor settings, meant for the life of the engine apparently, though admittedly this Honda V is no where near a rev monster.

So what was "before" valve-clearances of individual valves?
And "after" clearances from adjustment? That way, correlation with change in behavior can be made. This lack of quantified data seems to imply sloppy measurements, no measurements and/or disregard for specifications altogether. Which may be what started this mess to begin with.

Another concern is harmonics in sections of chain around contact point. With small single-contact point to adjust tension, you end up with harmonics on either side based upon engine-RPM. |

as i push on chain and rotate crank. where is the the best spot/position to check chain lash. certain spot when rotating the chain is looser than other positions.

finally
i ran across a thread where a ninja 250 had the exact problem i was having. a dead cylinder. remember problem started after i hit those deep potholes at night in carolina. it got progressively worse and sometimes disappear. i need to follow ignitor coil wire for cylinder #1 from end to end. could be grounded to frame somewhere. i checked about 60 % of harness. will try this. or as a quick check. verify voltage of coils while bike is running. i could use some insulated jumper wires. is this possible?

Didn't we already test both sets of ignition wires? If you test signals at end-points and they're good, there's no need to test wiring.
coil RED - you'll want constant +12v fulltime with key ON, wiggle harness between ignition-switch and coils to test for breaks or shorts. coil GREEN - use oscilloscope or 'noid light to check for grounding-pulses coil BLACK - use oscilloscope or 'noid light to check for grounding-pulses Amazon - solenoid light Even better to test with oscilloscope, should get clean waveform like this with grounding-pulses all way down to zero: I recall you cut green wire to test at one point? Strange test procedure. Make sure you tie, solder and heat-shrink wrap that cut back together. No crimp joints, no electrical tape. Do it right, do it once, or else there's always time to do it again later. If you have bad signal, then inspect every single inch of wire from end to end wire all 360-degrees around to make sure there's no exposed section rubbing on frame or other wires. Also measure resistance between ends of wire. Have assistant grab and wiggle wire in between. Signal shouldn't change. |

yea we put a meter on them. it passed. i still jumpered black and green coil wires coming from ignitor. no effect, did not change anything. except tach stopped working. another dead end

What you need is quantitative data meaning numbers. Measure voltage at each coil RED terminal. Then wiggle wires everywhere while monitoring that voltage, should not ever change.
Getting useful data on grounding signal wire is more difficult, so borrow, rent, steal an oscilloscope if you can. Or at least get the solenoid test light. Either way will give us more useful data that we don't have now. Critical part is verifying you have clean square-waves coming out of ECU and that they go all way down to zero volts during spark interval. If not, there may be issues with wiring and/or ECU. Numbers we're looking for is something like this: Varying durations based upon RPM. |

Need some clarification on your symptoms:
1. Cuts out in mid-range under ALL loads? If you use 25% throttle or less, does it rev past mid-range? 2. Never makes it past mid-range under ALL throttle-openings? In neutral can you rev past mid-range with just 10-15% throttle? |

no i cut green coil wire at ignitor and ran ran a jumper wire to coil. this would bypass possible bad wire. did the same for the other coil. everything was insulated also

At this point, without actual measurements and numbers, your best bet is to get brand-new harness from Kawi dealer. DO NOT buy used harness off eBay or classifieds. It too will need testing and coming up with numbers like yours to verify it's good. |

If you don't believe numbers meter gives you, and still want to run new wires to replace original ones, proper way is to not interfere with original wire in any way and just piggyback new wire on top. Remove only insulation and wrap new wire on top:
AND solder it on for good electrical conductivity. Lack of solder is a very big problem. With crimped connections, it may appear to work in beginning. But over time with vibration and moisture corrosion, you'll end up with corroded and broken joints. Stress-riser from crimp accelerates this. Many planes have fallen out of sky from lack of solder. |

Yes, to get results you desire, requires very methodical and repeatable procedures. It's like 3-page Army manual on how to make chocolate-chip cookies. Anyone, anywhere can get exact same results.
Idea is to remove all possible error points. That's done through tried and true procedures that's guaranteed to last a long time (consult NASA wiring manual). I have 50-year warranty on my headlight upgrades & harnesses for Porsches (and Miatas, Jeeps). I stopped selling them 25-years ago and not single one has come back. People remove them when selling their cars to keep them for future use! Sometimes they come up on eBay going for twice what I originally sold them for! |

it starts and idles normal.
as soon as throttle is open #1 cylinder starts to load and sound erratic. difficult to reach mid throttle if i keep opening throttle, i get intense smell of gas. bike usually dies if throttle is opened. since i got bike home. the symptoms have stabilized to just bad/unrideable. been on the stand since 03/19 i have pulled the plug on cylinder #1/it almost looks fouled. we ruled out ignitor,coils,carbs,fuel delivery,air, has new battery. what about safety switches?should i jumper them? compression good on both cylinders too. camshaft position sensor changed out also. if i ran jumper wire from ignitor to each respective coil green with 2 gray dots(cylinder#2) and black with 2 gray dots(cylinder#1) and no change occurred. would not this eliminate ignitor to coil test as ok? damn sounds ignition related but how and where to look. or do i just buy a new wiring harness?

Ok, let's test under these conditions:
1. stock ignition coils installed 2. stock plug-wires installed 3. stock spark-plugs installed 4. ignition switch ON 5. bike OFF, not running. 6. What's voltage at each coil's RED terminal, using battery negative for ground-probe? 7. While keeping firm contact with test-leads, have assistant wiggle wiring-harness. From battery terminals all way forward to ignition-switch and headlight wiring. Does meter maintain constant voltage? Or does it have drop-outs?

It actually doesn't really matter. I just use red on bottom for both because that's how it came from factory. The wire-lengths also make it easier that way.

i had drop outs on voltage but not much. if coil was 12.80 volts it might drop to 12.60 volts. had small dropouts at ignitor location and key switch. while wiggling the 10amp ignition fuse blew. do i need to bite the bullet and get a $300 wire harness?or do i need to totally unwrap this harness and really check it closely?
where is the main frame ground for the harness?

Main harness ground is on black/yellow wire at right-rear with connector. It's fine, so don't waste time on it. Blowing fuse is sure sign that ground is correct since shorted wire flows current to ground. Ignition fuse & circuit provides power to ignition-coils. So having short in that circuit would would definitely affect ignition. Now, there's absolutely zero need to unwrap harness to inspect. Because it worked perfectly fine when leaving factory and would continue to work for long time. Leave factory-wrapped sections alone! Issue was caused by modifications to harness. Without these mods, harness would still be 100% functional without shorts. So simplest and easiest fix is to restore harness back to 100% stock (or buy 100% brand-new stock harness from dealer). Find all areas that have been modified from stock configurations with cutting/crimping and repair with proper linesman splice/knot, soldering and heat-shrink wrap to restore back to original functionality. It's done this way in pro-motorsports, aerospace and military applications for performance, durability and reliability. It is not accidental that crimp-connections are forbidden for these applications. Imagine consequences of flying Raider over enemy territory and ignition-fuse blows and turns off your ignition!
