Update:
I checked the cam sensor and couldn't see any goo leaking.
Got in a new wiring harness which if it doesn't fix this problem it will fix 2 others that were already there.

 

Be sure to let us know how it turns out

 

I will but it might take a while as I've started my famous "since I'm there" mode.
In other words I start replacing things that look a bit worn or damaged.
For example I'm replacing the battery cables and the rear brake mounting pins to name a couple.

 

I'm always glad I went ahead and did things.

It's funny how much we find other stuff to do Dang it can add up QUICK

This is exactly what I'm doing to my '97 right now. Going though the whole bike. I realized that I am missing pieces! A fender bolt is missing and the spring retainer from the rear caliper is missing. Strange...

 

Ahhhh... The dreaded MAW's (Might As Well). They are what turned this:



Into this:

 

Update:
Just put the new wiring harness on and new battery cables on the '94.
I turned on the ignition to check to make sure that everything worked and low and behold the left turn signal didn't work!!!!!!!

Well a lot of cussing and a little looking and I found where they left a 2 pin bridge off the first connector of the wiring harness!!!!

I grabbed one off the old harness and installed it and the left turn signal works!!!!!!!

Well reassembly continues....

 

Gotta love those electrical gremlins.

 

Just tried to check the timing and I couldn't get the light to work off the front plug wire so I guess it's time for some new plug wires.

 

I'm going with "not a plug wire problem."
