Willeboy! Congrats. That means the wiring returning to battery ground is broken someplace I think.
Check the black wire leaving the coil for any tiny cracks. If you find any, clean and seal them up, or replace the wire.
Then find out if the connections are having problems anyplace due to lack of ground. I cleaned all mine.
You might have a coil that is shorting to itself due to metal fragments or damage. Did you get a good look at it when you had it out? I'd inspect it really well before moving on , because brother, you're almost there!
I wonder if someone modded your wiring to read the volts off another wire...it's written up on xs650. Can you post the pics for us? Take a few pics, upload to your album, and then paste the bb code on the album page into the post and it shows as the pic instead of a link.
Good gremlin hunting! Congrats!
