Thank you Beernard, pickup is on the way brand new from Britishlegends france, brand new, of course I've read through the forum and also blamed the pickup, thats why I have it new on the way, changed it with another type with totally different values and bike did the same, we'll see when it arrives.

Found out that white alt wire goes to a connector under the dash and to the ign switch, and little brown one to the same conector, ign off we have 12 to the wires, ign on we have 0.

Question, what does the alternator put out of these two wires fat white and little brown which were browned out and welded together and why do they go to the ign switch? Is the cdi getting a alt running signal? AC, DC?

Gday Titus,
I have had a bad coil pickup/crank sensor (seems to live by many names!). The time frame was a lot longer, but when the bike warmed, the unit failed. Cooled down, ran again. Drove me nuts, but I was given the solution on this forum. Might be worth a look if you have no luck with your current adventures.
Regards, Bern.

Hi Phil. I think the standard stand is too short, giving it too much pressure. When I flipped the chain adjuster (documented here somewhere, probably by mustang) and dropped the forks 25mm in the yolks, the stand length was perfect and has been for years. Please take from this what you will and all the best.
Bern.

TT600 coils on my Tiger. They also give you a bit more room to play under the tank. I agree with Phil.
All the best.

Just looked at the Turoro website looks interesting but where would you mount the oil reservoir, there doesn't appear to be a place without it being exposed?

Thanks, was my dad's bike so it's not just a bike. Also I'm an engineer, so I spend my whole life trying to work out why things are broken.

Today I cleaned the injectors and fuel rail.

Battery needs a charge before it'll start again, so fingers crossed tomorrow.

At this rate it'll be running next January...

Thought about coils but refuse to believe that all 3 die at the same time and interval, remember runs 10 s then dies. Starts when shown the key so not a fueling problem, alty had wires welded, sent for repair, cdi is on the way hope to get it soon. Ghost relay is under seat 4 prong, relates to key on, neutral light and sidestand whatever you do or bridge the relay bike runs 10s then stops. However when sidestand down we get some 8v to the relay, sidestand switch does its job so cant be related. Ordered cdi from ebay today, some seller from uk, hope it gets to romania soon.
I will try anything you guys suggest, going out of my mind here. Bike is cursed, I swear.
