1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300. Only running on back 2 cylinders. Changed front coils still no spark?????

If you're experiencing a lack of spark on the front two cylinders of your 1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the spark plug wires: Verify that the spark plug wires are securely connected to both the ignition coils and spark plugs. Ensure they are not damaged or frayed. If you have swapped the wires and still don't have spark on the front cylinders, it's less likely to be an issue with the wires themselves.
  2. Inspect the spark plugs: Remove the spark plugs from the front two cylinders and inspect them for fouling, wear, or damage. If the plugs are worn out, fouled, or damaged, replace them with new ones of the correct specification.
  3. Test the ignition coils: Although you mentioned replacing the front coils, it's still possible that the used replacement coils are faulty. You can test the coils using a multimeter to check for proper resistance values. Consult the service manual or contact a Yamaha dealer for specific resistance values and testing procedures for your particular model.
  4. Check the ignition system components: Inspect other components of the ignition system, such as the ignition control module (CDI), ignition switches, and wiring harness connections. Ensure all connections are secure, and there are no damaged or corroded wires.
  5. Verify power supply: Confirm that the ignition system is receiving power. Check the fuses related to the ignition system and ensure they are not blown. Test for voltage at the ignition coil connectors to ensure there is proper power supply to the coils.
  6. Consult a professional: If you have gone through these troubleshooting steps and are still unable to identify the issue, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle technician or a Yamaha dealer. They will have access to specialized diagnostic equipment and expertise to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Electrical issues can be complex, and it may require expertise beyond basic troubleshooting. A professional technician will be able to perform more in-depth diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause of the lack of spark on the front cylinders of your motorcycle.

Yamaha YZF 600R Thundercat. How to reset limp mode please?

Question edited to add a lot more clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category. First you connect a scan tool and read the codes. Then the code tells you WHY you are in Limp Mode. Then you fix whatever is wrong and the scan tool rests the code. Limp Mode is ONLY activated if something is wrong that can catastrophically damage the engine. You don't just turn it off and hope for the best. https://www.google.com/search?q=Yamaha+YZF+600R++code+reader ..

I have a 2017 Yamaha YZ450FX dirt bike. It starts all on it's own.

You are the only person to have one with demonic possession but they do have some history with starting. :>D You have something where a connection isn't wide enough apart and that sizzling is the contacts arcing, heating up and moving together to complete the circuit. The likely place would be the starter button, the starter relay, or the starter motor solenoid. In the links, it appears the starter motor is the item with problems. you can test the relay for loose or sloppy contacts by tapping all 5 sides with the end of a wrench. https://www.google.com/search?q=2017+yamaha+yz450fx+starts+on+its+own ..

2009 yamaha vstar custom 650 blows turn/panel/horn fuse when started, this after changing back turn signals to LED, works fine when switch is on without staring.

One of your turn signals may be bad. Try removing or disconnecting one at a time to see if you have a bad one.
