hey.. the only way to check a coil of any kind is with an ohm meter,,,if it's bad it will show nothing or infinity... if it is good it should have at least 8 dependant upon the resistance but could be higher... i can't remember if too high means corosion or not but i know you can get the numbers from the manufacturer
Remove the retaining ring, from the ignition. Pull the ignition barrel out. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the ignition barrel. Reverse the process to install the new ignition.
Your ignition is probably fine what you need to check is the starter solenoid, more than likely that is what has gone bad. To find it follow the positive cable from the battery and it should lead you to it. If you turn your ke to the on position and touch both terminals on the solenoid with a screwdriver the motorcycle will turn over.
first check to see if your distributor is getting power to it and if it is check to see if the stator inside your distributor is sending a signal to the ignition module, just hook up a test light between the stator going to the ignition module to ground
first i would check your coil, if its good, check your ignition switch.
start with checking the battery, next check the solenoid,next check the starter motor.then check ignition switch
It may be possessed by a demon! OR... Does it have a remote car starter installed? It may be faulty. The ignition switch may be bad. The key goes into the ignition lock. There is usually a rod that goes down to the electrical switch on the steering column. check the electrical switch.
Check the MOM
Stand the bike upright and examine the coolant gauge.
I'm pretty sure it does. I own a 1995 Vulcan and I bought a 2003 tank and looked at the mounting brackets and fuel connections all looked to be the same - but don't put this in stone. I haven't been able to put it on yet because it's still out being painted. There should be no difference in the fuel tank mounts from 1996-1005, but as always, check with a professional if this information is critical.
For shorter men a motorcycle that would be ideal is the Ducati Monster. Other motorcycles to check out for shorter people are Kawasaki Ninja 250OR and the Suzuki GSX R600.
Short the two battery leads together, this will bypass the solenoid and should turn the starter. But this does not answer the question....it just lets you see if the starter works. How do you CHECK the solenoid to see if it is GOOD or BAD???

Check oil level Maybe predetonation try using a higher octane fuel (mfg.calls for 89 Octane) Hydraulic lifters not adjustable
How do you put oil in Kawasaki 250 four wheeler
I have one, it took me a while the first time to find it because it is a little bit hidden. Its on the right side hidden behind the rear brake lines. it looks like a circle with a thin vertical viewing window.
My vn1500 had a round sight glass on the lower right side of the engine. The bike should be sitting up straight (get a friend to hold the bike to be safe). The oil level is correct if it covers half the glass.
there is a site glass on right side of engine about mid ways of brake petal Where should the oil leve be in the site glass when the oil level is full?
