Can't get spark on my 2000 r1

Joneswithyamaha · 2023-03-12T14:21:36-0400

I have bought a yamaha r1 from 2000, as a project bike.

After a lot of hours, I still can't get spark.

I have tried:
New battery
Spark plug
Checked the fuses

Tried with other used parts: (hope they work)
Ignition coils
Cdi / Ecu?
Pickup
Stator
Starter relay
Relay unit

Please help.

I have the same issue on my basket case ‘05. When I figure it out I’ll let you know. Mine has a diagnostic function on the dashboard and it passes the spark test then but not while cranking. Does yours have that feature?

Hey jimbalaya. Thanks for the reply, mine does not have that feature.

Red wire to coils is getting 12V

Have you checked your main switch. It has two circuits on it. One for main power and one runs through your starting circuit cut off relay to your cdi unit. Disconnect the switch which is under the left fake carbon cover. Ohm out the blue/yellow and blue/black wires with the key on.

Hey sharksawyer. I can’t get any ohms on them? What to do?

Sharksawyer · 2023-03-13T14:14:14-0400

What about your main power(red and brown)?

We get 12v on the red when its connected, when i pull Then apart i get 12v on the Brown on. I dont get any ohms?

Not understanding your statement? When you are checking resistance on the main switch(ignition), you are only checking the switch. Must be unplugged and key turned on. Is this the way you measured the blue/yellow and blue/black wires?

Maybe i have done it wrong. I try again tomorrow. Thank you very much, i Update you.

If the main switch has too much resistance, it acts as an open and does not complete the circuit. It's as if the key has not been turned. Let me know.

Hey LS_R1_life. Thanks for reply. My fuel pump is working, but i dont have spark om my sparkplugs

Joneswithyamaha · 2023-03-14T01:40:49-0400

Hey again. I have tried to ohm out the main switch, Maybe my meter is weird, i get zero ohm on everything. I found another main switch, tried it on. No spark. But i cant get any ohm on that on either

Joneswithyamaha · 2023-03-14T13:01:16-0400

What do you think?

LS_R1_Life · 2023-03-14T14:10:03-0400

I’m not sure I have a mechanic working on my he knows old school motorcycles maybe you need to ask a motorcycle shop. I buy my parts from partzilla new Yamaha parts

LS_R1_Life · 2023-03-14T14:19:27-0400

You can get the service manual on here maybe have information about wiring

Joneswithyamaha · 2023-03-14T14:20:39-0400
