klr 650 stolen then found- need advice

Post by Darren Clark » Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:40 am

There are several "safety" circuits that will kill the spark, things like a kickstand switch, neutral/clutch lever switch, kill switch and also the key switch. The best bet is get a manual for the electrical system and a small volt meter.

That would be a very good place to check for crossed or cut wires.

the wires coming off the tachometer were slightly stripped. Each one of them, brown, black, white etc... If someone connected the wrong wires together would that blow the cdi right away? If one does that what else can be fried? Im bummed out........my baby was running so well.........

Based on the fact that the wires coming off the tachometer were slightly stripped do you recommend that i get a new cdi? If one connects the wrong wires together the fuses and cdi blows right? (Fuses were blown) Thanks for all the help. Used cdi goest for 100$ on ebay. Not too bad i guess David
