QuestionI am working on this bike and struggling with an ignition problem I think. The bike hesitates which is most noticeable at speeds above 35 and when not actually accelerating. I initially thought it was a fuel issue however, I found something unusual when I hooked up an inductive tachometer to the spark plug wires. The righthand cylinder readings are virtually steady at about 1,200 RPM +/- 40 RPM but the left hand cylinder reading fluctuate up to about 400 RPM below that. Initially I swapped the plugs but the same issue remained. I have also swapped out the coil with the same result. I have checked the wiring connections as best I can without removing the flywheel/stator assembly. That is my next step since I am thinking this may be an intermittent short in the pickup wire from the pulsar unit. I have cleaned the pickup on the pulsar unit.
Any thoughts? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Also, if I need to pull the flywheel on the bike, do you have any resources that will spell out the size puller I need. I do not see the actual model mentioned on most sites selling pullers. I am thinking it is either 16MM or 18MM from what I am reading.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance for sharing.

AnswerNot familiar with this model bike.
I wasn't aware that these models have electronic ignition.
If you've swapped coils and the problem doesn't follow the
coil then it sure sounds like its a signal generator problem,
although I can't recall ever hearing of one go bad.
How is the overall health of the battery/charging system.
The folks at Z1 enterprises are very helpful in tracking down
tools like pullers.
