--- Quote from: Gage on August 11, 2013, 03:46:27 PM ---Ya idk I was getting on it today and the bike just seems to cut out when it's under a heavy load. It doesn't feel fuel related it's mostly happening in high 3rd and 4th. Like you hit and it'll pop up then just cuts makes a zing sorta noise. I've been trying to get some one out to my area who knows something. I know it's hard for you guys to give me advice with the details I'm giving you. I really appreciate everyone's help thus far, it's running 10X better than a few weeks ago. One of the wires in the wiring harness is rigged up sorta strange and the stator is so nasty looking. So I guess Ill start there because of it feels and how it revs out and my gut feeling. Thanks again Gage.

hmmmm.... that sounds, like the ignition-timing is a little bit to late... you can try and turn the stator-plate ca an 1/2 - 1 mm backwards ... that makes an earlier ignition-timing. but before this, please mark the exact actual position. :wink:
if this not help, turn back to the actual point and plan b: 1. try another ignition coil and 2. measure out, where the fail sits (cdi or statorplate)... after this : plan c is a change in the jetting, too rich can make the same problem... great help: look at www.oem-cycle.com in the kx500-jetting-guide

so what does it do after it makes this "zing sorta noise"?...does it die out?,keep running?,keep running but running like s**t/cutting out?
Gage:
Idk guys I had somebody come out today and told me there wasn't jack s**t wrong with it. :| Except for the dry rotted tires. It doesn't cut off, like shut off, but it just seems like it revs out to fast to where I believe it robs it of some of it's power. Idk my buddy was putting the rear fender on the asphalt today so maybe hes right. Maybe I just gotta learn to ride it better. I'm getting a tan color spark plug too, maybe it should be a little darker. I'll take some pics as soon as I get my camera back to show you guys.
Foxx4Beaver:
I think I asked this in a previous post....but what/which pipe are you running on there right now?
