2013ignitionswitchremoval
To remove the ignition switch on a 2013 Yamaha Royal Star, you can follow these general steps:
1. Disconnect the Battery: Begin by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety and prevent accidental electrical issues.
2. Remove the Ignition Switch Cover: Locate the ignition switch on the motorcycle's handlebars. On some models, there may be a plastic cover or panel that needs to be removed to access the switch. Use a screwdriver or appropriate tool to remove any screws or clips holding the cover in place.
3. Disconnect Wiring: Once you have access to the ignition switch, you'll find electrical connectors or wires attached to it. Carefully disconnect these connectors by gently pulling them apart or by releasing any locking mechanisms.
4. Remove Mounting Screws/Bolts: The ignition switch is typically secured to the handlebars or the surrounding housing with mounting screws or bolts. Use the appropriate tool (screwdriver or wrench) to remove these screws or bolts.
5. Remove the Ignition Switch: Once the mounting screws/bolts are removed, you can now detach the ignition switch from the handlebars or housing. Gently pull or wiggle the switch to free it from its position.
6. Install the Replacement Ignition Switch: If you are replacing the ignition switch with a new one, follow the reverse process. Align the new switch with the mounting holes and secure it with the screws or bolts. Reconnect the electrical connectors or wires to the appropriate terminals.
7. Reassemble and Reconnect the Battery: Put back the ignition switch cover or panel if you removed one in the first step. Double-check that all connections are secure. Finally, reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Please note that the exact steps and specific requirements may vary depending on the model and configuration of your Yamaha Royal Star. It's always a good idea to consult the motorcycle's service manual for detailed instructions or seek assistance from a professional motorcycle technician if you are unsure about any step of the process.

Yamaha news mate v50 coil pack
I apologize, but I couldn't find specific information regarding a "Yamaha News Mate V50" or "Yamaha News Mate V50 bike maginto coil pack" in my training data. It's possible that the model name or terminology might be different, or it could be a less common or regional variant.
In general, the ignition system of motorcycles, including coil packs, helps generate the spark required to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. If you are experiencing issues with the coil pack on your Yamaha News Mate V50 or any other motorcycle, here are a few steps you can take:
1. Visual inspection: Inspect the coil pack and its wiring for any signs of damage, such as cracks, corrosion, loose connections, or frayed wires. Ensure that all connections are secure.
2. Testing the coil pack: Use a multimeter to test the primary and secondary resistance of the coil pack. Consult the manufacturer's specifications or a service manual for the acceptable resistance values. If the readings are outside the recommended range, the coil pack may be faulty and should be replaced.
3. Professional assistance: If you are uncertain about how to proceed or if the issue persists after visual inspection and testing, it's advisable to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic or authorized Yamaha service center. They will have the necessary expertise and tools to diagnose the specific problem with your Yamaha News Mate V50 and provide appropriate solutions.
Additionally, if you have more detailed or specific information about the issue you are facing with the coil pack, please provide additional details, and I'll do my best to assist you further.

How to restart my motorbike that hasn't been used in sitting around for a year and a half
Start with the basics. Fresh new fuel and a fully charged battery. Make sure it is in neutral and if it has a fuel tap that it is in the open position. If it has a kick start you can 'prime' the engine. With the ignition OFF and the fuel supply ON kick the engine over 3 or 4 times. Then turn the ignition ON and try starting the engine. Only crank the engine with the electric start for short 3 second bursts.

Bike stuttered and died while riding. Replaced spark plugs and coil and wires. Turns over but will not start
There are several possible causes for your bike stuttering and then dying while riding, despite having replaced the spark plugs, coil, and wires. It's worth doing further diagnosis to identify the root cause. Here are some possible reasons why your bike won't start:
- Fuel delivery: Check to see if your fuel pump is working properly and ensure that your fuel lines and tank are clean and free of debris. If your bike has a carburetor, check to make sure that it's functioning correctly.
- Electrical system: Check that your battery is charged and in good condition. Also, ensure that the electrical connections are clean and tight. Make sure that the charging system is working correctly, as a bad stator or rectifier can cause similar symptoms.
- Ignition system: Make sure that the ignition system is working properly. Check the timing and make sure that the ignition switch, kill switch, and key switch are all functioning correctly.
- Compression: Make sure that your engine has good compression. A compression test can help identify if this is the issue.
- Other components: Other components, such as the cap and rotor, valve timing, fuel injectors, and camshaft position sensor, may also cause these symptoms.
It may be helpful to consult a mechanic or dealership if you are unable to diagnose the issue. They may be able to provide you with more specific guidance on how to fix the problem.
