Posted on Feb 07, 2010

Hi! My Yamaha FJ 1100 just sudenly had no spark on the left cylinders and then all off a sudden the left side sparked but the right side was dead, now the bike has no spark and the dashboard lights is burning the whole time, no matter if the ignition is on or off, and the park light is also burning permanently if connecting its wires, what can cause this? we have already checked for shorts on the wiring! thanks

If you have a manual look up ignition coil solenoids. My FJ1100 had the same problem. Take off the small cover on the Left side that has Yamaha engraved on it. After taking it off you will see a metal T that spins around. This metal T passes 2 solenoids. Looking straight at the ignition coil, the left solenoid sends spark to the left side (cylinders 1,3 I think), and the right solenoid sends spark to cylinders 2,4 I think. If you look closely at the metal T when turning the bike over you'll see it passes each of the solenoids pretty much coming in contact with them as it turns. Your problem is that the metal T isn't connecting with the solenoids. Either get new solenoids or whole ignition coil, shouldn't be more than 50 bucks. Then read your manual on how to set the ignition timing. Hope this helps

Just bought one pivately and it wont start, also can't find where the spark plugs go

on the rear cylinder at the top on the right side of bike as you are sitting on it, there is a chrome cover that is in place by rubber gromlets pull that cover and there will be the spark plug. The fromt cylinder has same cover but on the left side of bike. Check the plugs and probably replace them and see if bike will start you can also check for spark there by placing the plug in the wire and putting it against the cylinder and turning over the motor watching the plug to see if there is spark in each cylinder. I hope this helps you.

I have an FJ 1100. the bike will start, but as soon as it gets warm (3-5 minutes) it starts to run rough (3-cylinders) then it dies and wont start again until completely cold.

When's the last time the carbs were removed and thoroughly cleaned? Has the bike ever sat for any long period of time in storage?

Chances are, there is varnish buildup in the carb passages, and/or the float level needs to be reset.

Spark plug order

If you are sitting on the bike, cylinder 1 is on your left then 2,3,4....looking at the coils, the left coil- left lead goes to no1cylinder. right lead goes to cylinder4. Right coil- left lead to cylinder 2, right lead to cylinder 3.
Hope it helps you.
