SpaceCowboy 52 Posted November 23, 2020 Drive 2 hours to find out my 400xcw didn’t have spark. Drove two hours home at least I had the day off. In the garage with a multimeter, looks like it’s the pulse generator. Replacement on the way. Also notice a leaking fork. Dang it. I’ll wait until the bike is running to send the forks out.

SpaceCowboy 52 Posted November 23, 2020 Internet tells me the pulse generator should measure 200 ohms, but mine is measuring 1? Which I guess means it’s an open circuit? Which means it’s bad? We’ll see when the new part arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceCowboy 52 Posted November 23, 2020 Cut down the wires to make sure there wasn’t a wire break. Same results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokey151 244 Posted November 23, 2020 That sucks. Hopefully that's all it is and you are back out soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted November 23, 2020 Bummer!! Mine were leaking as well and I took the bike to George at Suspension 101 and he added the Gobblers and did the seals at the same time; you may want to give him a call 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For just a fluid and seals I'll probably find someone closer to me that can get a quick turn around. Good news and bad news on the pulse generator. good news: the new part tests as it should, so this is probably the culprit. Still won't call it until it's installed and running. Bad news: I need a flywheel puller to install this f&$%er. It'll be here next Monday... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted November 24, 2020 You know what they say; good things are worth the wait! I am in Escondido and made the drive out and am super stoked; it's a whole new bike! By the way, I am not a paid spokesperson, nor do I play one on TV; just a happy customer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
