- We get a XT225 in the shop that was purchased as a non-running bike. No spark, can we figure out why and get it running?

This video put me on the right path and saved me hours
That’s what I like to hear! Thanks for watching.
great tutorial, simplifying a frustating problem.
luvn the posters/flags in the background.

Yeah, aftermarket parts and getting someone else’s problems always makes it fun. Thanks, been listening to DSC for 30 years. Hard to believe!
Nice job! As far as I'm concerned you gave the owner a sweet mod. When he hits the woods he can kill the lights (don't need em) and save battery juice for a heated vest or other devices.
That’s definitely one way to look at it! Well it’s still working and they are happy with it so that’s a win. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff, will try the same on our XT225 that's on the backburner!
Cem A good luck, electrical troubleshooting is all about patience. Get a multimeter and a factory wiring diagram and take your time.
Hey great job Tom,, that locked like a fast fix..
I got lucky finding the issue pretty quick. Sometimes those things can be a nightmare.
Nice job great fix
Thank you
It's got to be one of those aftermarket made in china key switches. I bought one, it's a 4 wire switch with red, brown, Black and white with black tracer. My orig. was Red, brn, blue with yellow tracer and blue with black tracer. Now, when you turn to on, the red and brown have resistance. When off, the others have resistance...no good China!
There’s a reason why they are only $11, saving money never cost so much!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures 😂 so true, so true!!
Very nice
Thanks for watching
Thank you sir
My pleasure.
Self removing parts. I had that high dollar option on a couple of my bikes 😁
Sometimes the more high dollar the bike is, the more prevalent that option is.
Switching off the headlight over volts the stator. Sooner or later, the stator will die and you have caused the owner a big repair bill.
Interesting concept, but I don’t agree. The system has a voltage regulator. The stator constantly “over volts”, the regulator keeps the operating voltage within the limits of the battery and lights.
This works on xtx660 ? Because my bike also hasn't sparks. Btw great job. 👏👏👏👏
It really depends, you have to get a manual and start troubleshooting. I got really lucky with this one. Thanks!
Got spark thanks to you but only getting a sputter won’t start I’m stuck I like the bike I have the ttr 225 as well runs like a top id like to get the xt going I think it’s blown top end but I’m not sure
Compression check.
Hey Tom awesome videos!
I have a XT225 and I believe I don't have everting wired in correctly.
"I have the same problem just one spark."
Do you have a 2000 Yamaha XT wiring diagram?
Thanks!
If you search online you can find the manual and wiring diagram.
Tom's Tinkering and Adventures I can’t find a 2000 diagram •____•.
Thank you for the reply!
@@lucasjames518 all the years are the same.
My bike xt225 is getting back kick. I am getting spark in my sparkplug. But engine won't start. Do u have any idea?
Check cam timing.
I wasn't driving my ybr 125 for year. So i decided to fix old issues, so i replace ignition switch, ignition coil and starter relay. The parts are cheap so i didn't want to play with it and check what's wrong. But after replacing this stuff and the others (like cluth) i couldn't start engine. So i chceck whole electric instalation and i was almost going to replace ECU. I hope it will be it :)
Best of luck, I hope you get it going.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks i appreciate it :)
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Unfortunately it wasn't it. But i am still glad that you show me how to skip ignition switch. I have already bought ECU and it's not as expensive as i thought. :)
Tnk u bruh
Hopefully it helped you, thanks for watching.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures A lot it’s working now tnks
I'd be curious to know how easy it was for your friend to find a seat or seat pan for that bike.
I found him a ratty seat on EBay a bit after I got it running.
I have a problem similar but haven’t figured it out yet
Electrical issues can be frustrating. Take your time, check the easy stuff first. A wiring diagram and a multimeter will definitely help. Good luck, thanks for watching.
I lost my spark years ago along with my hair 🤣
azdesertdog hmm, check the switch. Can’t do anything about the hair, seem to have similar issues.
My xt started having a weird blinker problem. One side blinks fast as if a bulb is broken. But i got all new bulbs. Blinker relay and even a new blinker housing.
If i swap the right and left wires the problem switched sides. So it's somewhere in the wiring sadly.
As it blinks on and off, the engine cuts on and off (with the fast side)
Very strange. Any ideas?
I also took apart and cleaned the turning/ horn switch. Not that i don't think.
Thanks
Traced wires and they all look ok. No frays no breaks.
@@georgeponzoni3554 sounds like a ground issue?
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures how do I look for, check for and fix that?
@@georgeponzoni3554 I would start by removing the turn signals one at a time, see if the problem goes away with one of them removed. Maybe look very closely at all the wiring. Engine cutting out makes me feel that a power wire somewhere is possibly missing insulation and grounding against something.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures funny thing is, if I remove the front blinker from the bike (of the side blinking fast) the bike will not start. And the "neutral", "high beam" and turn signal indicator lights, all light up at once (up by the speedometer) when the start button is pressed.
Very strange.
Someone know, what kind of oil use?
Follow the manual!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures do you have the manual on PDF? Please share with me. I can't find . My email address iqmariorodriguez@gmail.com
@@mariorodriguez1561 I don’t currently have it. You can likely find one if you take a few minutes on a search engine. The owner’s manual is available from Yamaha online for free.
Im Pulling my hair out , its been a month of trouble shooting. I will send ---$50.00-- if you could help me get a full constant spark.
Thank you!
I would start eliminating things that would kill spark like the clutch switch, side stand switch, the kill switch. Just bypass all of them. Also check the key switch just like this video.

(Y) not? 😂
