My bike is a KLE 500 92', I think this model is not available in the USA, but you can think of it as an EX500 or GPX, more or less (are these available in the USA?).
This bike is almost new, just 28,000 miles.
The thing is the second cylinder quits INTERMITTENTLY, and I've had the carbs cleaned and adjusted to no avail, so I'm suspecting an electrical failure.
Spark plugs are new, and the igniter coil is OK because I put it in place of the other coil (cylinder 1's) and it works fine.
What I'd like is to rule out the CDI box. How can I do that myself, if possible?
Also, how can I rule out the pickup coil?
Let's say for one moment that the electrical part is ok. What else could it be? What could the mechanic have missed in the carbs? Could it be valve-related?
Remember that this problem is intermittent. Once the cylinder gets going, it won't quit until I stop the bike for some time, and then when I start the engine again, it may or may not quit. Although I can't be sure if the cylinder is fully working when it gets going, maybe it's working on a low spark.
Could it be that the cylinder floods and quits until it dries up?
All ideas are welcome, I kinda desperate right now.
