250-500cc 2011 wr300 lost spark

anyone else have this happen yet?

checked and its not the kill switch. FW is turning with the crank. im pretty sure its the stator or the coil/cdi.

just putting this out there to see if anyones got any other thoughts on things to look at.

done as well DD.

Yup, I had the coil go out on my 2011. It just cut out on me while riding one day. Checked it when I got back and, sure enough, no spark.

i had just put my lighting harness on and run the light just once. just long enough to make sure it worked. has this been a known problem?

i take it you got a new coil and problem solved?

Yup!

was yours related to your lights or anything?

just cleaned up the bike and took things back down so i could test the stator and it is working just fine. its the cdi box/coil.

cannt wait to see how much this is going to cost. this bikes for sale guys and its decked out ready to take to the races or do some serious trail riding!

209.25 before shipping and tax.

I saw some discussions regarding the Ducati ignition and the lights not cooperating. I haven't installed my lights because of this problem. I can't imagine it being a coincidence that your CDI box burnt out just after installing the lights.

has it ever been a warranty issue? id sure like to not spend 209.25 if i dont have to.....

No idea, you would have to ask your dealer.

Here's a quote from Bill from this thread http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/just-bought-an-11-wr300-have-qs.21050/page-1
"We had some problems with the early 2011 WR250/300 having the wrong harness but the later ones came corrected.The lights are easy, its getting the dash wired in properly so you dont fry it is the confusing part.Look for just one yellow wire under the tank find that and we can get you dialed the rest of the way.billf


Now we just have to figure out how to tell if we have the bad wiring set up or the new.

I don't run any lights on mine. It just gave out while I was putting along looking for my friend's lost Gopro. I thought I had fouled a plug, but I swapped it on the trail and still no go. When I got it home I checked it out and had no spark, but the stator was putting out power, so I swapped out the coil and she fired right up.

Do you know how to check the stator? I mean where do I attach my multimeter and what voltage should I be reading off?

Thanks,

Finally over a year later Husqvarna gave the dealer the new wiring diagram (no harness issue) and wired in my lights about a month ago. Since then I've had 3 rides. 1st went fine, 2nd ride the bike was getting hard to start taking 7-10 kicks after only sitting for a couple minutes. 3rd ride I unplugged the lights and guess what.... now it starts normal. My guess problem not solved, at least not on Husky's end. My end i'm probably going to install a 2010 ingnition and be done with it. I have to be honest, between this lighting issue, the thermostat going bad (causing a blown top end) and lack of customer support I have not been a very proud Husky owner.
