sparkalounger Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I am hoping to once again receive some valuable insight to a problem I am having. A friend of mines' '03 rev-3 is dieing on him. If the bike is ridden non-stop for over an hour or so it will just die. No spark. Let sit for maybe a half hour or so..... it will start. This is a sporadic problem, not consistent. But continues to happen. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Usually when a bike sparks until it gets hot, it's the coil. There have been some Beta electrical quirks discussed here. Try a search, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I had the exact same symptoms in the early 80's with my 123 Montesa. fought it for a long time. We sold the bike in frustration & disgust, the guy put a coil on it, never had a problem AFIAK. CDI could get hot and do this nowdays I am betting....
