    Are the 1985 xj700 and 1986 xj700 wiring harness the same.
    I bought a 1985 xj700 and the guy before me chopped up the wiring some.

    Make sure you get a wiring harness for the air-cooled 700. It will interchange between '85 and '86 so you should have no problem.

    OK 550H, if you got some time , i have all the # from the ignition system on the 85 maxim700N.
    Primary/Ignition coil #1 - 3.3 ohms @ 200 setting
    " " #2 - 3.4 " "
    Secondary/Ignition coil #1 - 13.0 ohms @ 2000K setting (plug wire to plug wire, same coil)
    " " #2 - 13.0 " " (both readings with boots off)
    Wire plug boots #1 cyl. - 8.5 ohms @ 2000K
    " #2 " - 4.7 " "
    " #3 " 4.8 " "
    " #4 " 9.9 " " ( the two high readings look like replacement parts )
    Pick-up coils #1 - 116 ohms
    " #2 - 117 "
    Sidestand Switch UP - 0 ohms
    " Down open curcit
    Sidestand relay (?) w/power - 0 ohms ( any setting )
    " w/o power - 0 ohms ( shows a (-) infront of 0 reading ? )
    It seems like the sidestand relay is bad, as you said last nite, if you just un-plug that relay it will over ride that safety fetcher. All other readings seem to be ok , except for two wire boots that should be replaced, but not the reason of a no spark issue, Can you tell me where to go from here ?
