part2: debugging weak spark

[fasteddiecopeman]

My rear 5.10 x 17 already has 10,000 kms (6200 miles) and AIN'T worn out yet! Ed

I've got about 5k on the front K270, all highway miles. Looks like it wil be shot in another couple thou. I've only got a thousand on the 761 rear and really like it. Nice and quiet, good grip.

Any chance someone would be willing to perform the exciter test on their bike to verify? Don't fancy dropping $300 on a new stator unless it's absolutely necessary. Thanks
