2013 Like 200 LX. Long story. 14k miles.
Original symptoms: After a nice run, i was stopped at a light, the idle dropped and stumbled. When the light changed, i gunned it and the bike died. Started and it did the same. After blipping the throttle several times to take off, it all went back to normal. This happened several times that day, and still happens.
I started getting a CELP code of 6, which is a battery or charging system problem. I installed a new Yuasa battery, as it had the original tired battery. Problem persisted. I have gotten to the point of being able to create the problem on the road but not at home.
It happens usually after a high speed run. (Over 45 mph).
NOW: I get a CELP code of 11, which according to the Cyclepedia manual, is a bad ignition coil. The problem will occur even when there are no CELP codes. I followed the troubleshooting instructions for checking the primary of the coil. The manual states it should be .65 - .675 ohms. My meters only read to tenths, it reads .7 ohms. (Digital meter, I dropped the Simpson from a ladder years ago) I do not understand the instructions for checking the coil secondary. It is sealed with the exception of the spark plug wire.
I have removed most of the plastics to check every connection i see. Maybe it is the coil, but i hate being a parts changer. Any help on the coil troubleshooting would be helpful.
