Need '86-'89 KDX200 stator coil resistance specs
Posted: 09:28 am Sep 14 2016
Hello,
I am looking for the stator coil resistance specs for the 86-89 KDX200.
(Edit) Specifically, I want to know the differences in coil resistance specs between stator PN 21003-1077 ('83-85) and stator PN 21003-1178 ('86-'89). I have the 21003-1077 specs from my Clymers manual.
(Edit2) it turns out that my Clymers manual covers '83-'88 model years. The stator resistance specs have values for '83-'86 and '87-on as separate table entries. According to microfiche at Kawasaki.com, stator 21003-1178 looks like it has just one source coil (plus a lighting coil) whereas my '84 has two source coils (plus a lighting coil). There is only one resistance spec in the manual for '87-'88, which is 54 ohms, and the microfiche shows only three wires leaving the stator, rather than four wires on the '83-'85 models. The '86 and on presumably have changed from the dual (fast, slow) coil to single coil design. ''90 and later use a different stator than these two earlier generations.
It does not make sense that rmstator could sell one product (i.e., two source coils) that fit both stators/CDI designs, unless the user is expected to discard one coil for the '86 and later bikes. Neither coil as spec'd from the vendor (170, 24) or as measured (195, 34) would provide 54 ohms. Maybe the Clymers manual is somehow not accurate.
Thank you,
Ben
