bike isn't running i suck and have to get a new primary

i haven't figured out the diein thing yet, but i'm almost positive its the CPS so as soon as i make sure all the battery connections are good and get 50 bucks i'm gonna go get that thing

There is a way to test the cps, if ya got an ohm meter.
Magnetic crank position sensors produce an alternating current when the engine is cranked so a voltage output check is another test that can be performed. With the sensor connected, read the output voltage across the appropriate module terminals while cranking the engine. If you see at least 20 mV on the AC scale, the sensor is good, meaning the fault is probably in the module. If the output voltage is low, remove the sensor and inspect the end of it for rust or debris (magnetic sensors will attract iron and steel particles). Clean the sensor, reinstall it and test again. Make sure it has the proper air gap (if adjustable) because the spacing between the end of the sensor and the reluctor wheel or notches in the crankshaft will affect sensor output voltage. If the air gap is correct and output is still low, replace the sensor.
Hall effect crankshaft position sensors typically have three terminals; one for current feed, one for ground and one for the output signal. The sensor must have voltage and ground to produce a signal, so check these terminals first with an analog voltmeter. Sensor output can be checked by unplugging the DIS module and cranking the engine to see if the sensor produces a voltage signal. The voltmeter needle should jump each time a shutter blade passes through the Hall effect switch. If observed on an oscilloscope, you should see a square waveform. No signal would tell you the sensor has failed.

This has to do with cars, but I am sure the cps on bikes are the same.
Hope that helps

dont need a speedo, need an ohm meter, you can buy at radio shack for about 10 bucks

Ok, I have to ask. What is the points cover? The side of the tranny? (right side) Where the "5" is on the N? I am guessing that is the points cover on the older bikes
